JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2022 - 27th June Evening Shift - No. 17)

When 5 moles of He gas expand isothermally and reversibly at 300 K from 10 litre to 20 litre, the magnitude of the maximum work obtained is __________ J. [nearest integer] (Given : R = 8.3 J K$$-$$1 mol$$-$$1 and log 2 = 0.3010)
Answer
8630

Explanation

$$ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{rev}} &=-2.303 ~\mathrm{nRT} ~\log _{10}\left(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{2}}{\mathrm{~V}_{1}}\right) \\\\ &=-2.303 \times 5 \times 8.3 \times 300 \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{20}{10}\right) \\\\ & \simeq-8630 \mathrm{~J} \end{aligned} $$
