Question

A piston filled with 0.04 mol of an ideal gas expands reversibly form 50.0 mL to 375 mL at a constant temperature of 37.0oC. As it does so, it absorbs 208 J of heat. The values of q and w for the process will be:
(R = 8.314 J/mol K) (ln 7.5 = 2.01)

A
q = -208 J, w = -208 J

Solution

The correct option is D q = +208 J, w = -208 J
Process is isothermal reversible expansion, hence U=0.
q = -w As q = +208 J Hence, w = -208 J
