Question

A piston filled with 0.04 mole of an ideal gas expands reversibly from 50.0 L to 375 mL at a constant temperature of 37.0C. As it does so, it absorbs 208 J of heat energy. 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 A q = + 208 J, W = - 208 J
The process is isothermal expansion, hence
q = - W
ΔE=0
W=2.303nRTlogV2V1
=2.303×0.04×8.314×310×log33550
=208 J
q = + 208 J, W = -208 J (expansion work)
