JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 12th April Morning Slot - No. 12)

An ideal gas is allowed to expand form 1 L to 10 L against a constant external pressure of I bar. The work done in kJ is :
+10.0
–0.9
– 2.0
– 9.0

Explanation

This is an irreverseable process as gas is expanding against a constant external process.

Work done in irreverseable process

W = - Pext$$\Delta $$V

= - 1 bar $$ \times $$ 9 L

= - 105 Pa $$ \times $$ 9 $$ \times $$ 10-3 m3

= - 9 $$ \times $$ 102 N-m

= - 900 J

= - 0.9 kJ
