Question

1 mole of NH3 gas at 27 oC is expanded in reversible adiabatic condition to make volume 64 times of its initial volume. (γ=43) The magnitude of work done (in cal) will be :
(Give your answer in cal and upto two decimal only)

Solution

For a reversible adiabatic process :
T1Vγ11=T2Vγ12
Given, T1 =300 K
V2=64V1
putting the values we get,
300×V1/31=T2(64V1)1/3T2=75 K
So, final temperature is 75 K

and work done will be ,
W=nCv(T2T1)
we know Cv=Rγ1
so,
W=1×Rγ1(75300)=2431(225)=1350 cal
