Solution
The correct option is B1.0412 Pa W=−2.303nRTlogP1P2∴logP1P2=W−2.303nRT=100−2.303×1×8.314×298=−0.01753i.e.,logP1−logP2=−0.01753(TheunitsinwhichP1andP2areexpressedmustbeidentical)∴−logP2=−0.01753−logP1∴−logP2=−0.01753+logP1=0.01753+log1=0.01753+0logP2=0.01753⇒P2=Antilog(0.01753)⇒P2=1.0412Pa(SinceunitofP1isPa)
