Solution
The correct options are
A △U=0
B q=−w=1729J
T=27oC=27+273=300 K
Since the process is reversible isothermal,
△U=0
Work done is given as:
w=−2.303 nRT log(V2V1)
Putting all the values we get:
w=−(2.303×1×8.314×300) log (20/10)=−1729 J
From the first law, △U=q+w
Since, △U=0,q=−w=1729 J
A △U=0
B q=−w=1729J
T=27oC=27+273=300 K
Since the process is reversible isothermal,
△U=0
Work done is given as:
w=−2.303 nRT log(V2V1)
Putting all the values we get:
w=−(2.303×1×8.314×300) log (20/10)=−1729 J
From the first law, △U=q+w
Since, △U=0,q=−w=1729 J
