प्रश्न
Give an expression for work done in an isothermal process.
Advertisements
उत्तर
The work done by the gas, W = `int_("V"_"i")^("V"_"f") "P"."dV"`
Writing pressure in terms of volume and temperature,
P = `(μ"RT")/"V"`
Substituting this value we get
W = `int_("V"_"i")^("V"_"f") (μ"RT")/"V" "dV" = μ"RT" int_("V"_"i")^("V"_"f") "dV"/"V"`
By performing the integration in equation, we get
W = `μ"RT" ln ("V"_"f"/"V"_"i")`

An ideal gas A and a real gas B have their volumes increased from V to 2V under isothermal conditions. The increase in internal energy ____________.
Assertion: Equal volumes of monatomic and polyatomic gases are adiabatically compressed separately to equal compression ratio `("P"_2/"P"_1)`. Then monatomic gas will have greater final volume.
Reason: Among ideal gases, molecules of a monatomic gas have the smallest number of degrees of freedom.
