A gas is allowed to expand in an insulated container against a constant external pressure of 5 atm from an initial volume of 1.75 L to a final volume of 6.75 L. The change in internal energy

(\Delta U)

of the gas will be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

- 2.5\mathrm{ }kJ

Option A (-2.5 kJ) is correct because the change in internal energy is equal to the heat exchanged, which is the negative of the work done against the constant external pressure in an adiabatic process.

The internal energy of one mole of a gas is: An ideal gas is allowed to expand both reversibly and irreversibly in an isolated system. If

{T_i}

is the initial temperature and

{T_f}

is the final temperature, which of the following statements is correct? For which of the process, ∆S is negative? The work done by a weightless piston in causing an expansion ∆V (at constant temperature), when the opposing pressure, P is variable, is given by: Assertion :- At constant pressure of the change

\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{s}) \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})

work done is negative.

Reason :- During phase transition work done is always negative. For the reaction,

\mathrm{X}_2 \mathrm{O_4(l}) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{XO}_2(\mathrm{g}), \Delta U=2.1 \mathrm{~kcal}, \Delta S=20 \mathrm{~cal} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}

300 \mathrm{~K}

. Hence,
