Expansion of a gas in vacuum is called free expansion. Calculate the work done and the change in internal energy when 1 litre of ideal gas expands isothermally into vacuum until its total volume is 5 litre?
उत्तर
During free expansion, external pressure is zero, so Work done, w = – pextΔV
= – 0(5 – 1) = 0
Since the gas is expanding isothermally, therefore, q = 0
ΔU = q + w = 0 + 0 = 0

The pressure-volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated by using the expression w = `- int_(v_i)^(v_f) p_(ex) dV`. The work can also be calculated from the pV– plot by using the area under the curve within the specified limits. When an ideal gas is compressed (a) reversibly or (b) irreversibly from volume Vi to Vf. choose the correct option.
For an ideal gas, the work of reversible expansion under isothermal condition can be calculated by using the expression w = `- nRT` In `V_f/V_i`. A sample containing 1.0 mol of an ideal gas is expanded isothermally and reversibly to ten times of its original volume, in two separate experiments. The expansion is carried out at 300 K and at 600 K respectively.
(i) Work done at 600 K is 20 times the work done at 300 K.
(ii) Work done at 300 K is twice the work done at 600 K.
(iii) Work done at 600 K is twice the work done at 300 K.
(iv) ∆U = 0 in both cases.
