Thermodynamics Question 333

Question: A gas expands with temperature according to the relation V=kT2/3 . Calculate work done when the temperature changes by 60 K?

Options:

A) 10 R

B) 30 R

C) 40 R

D) 20 R

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c]dW=pdV=RTVdV .. (i)

As, V=kT2/3,dV=k23T2/3dT

dVV=k23T2/3dTkT2/3=23dTT

From Eq. (i), W=T1T2RTdVV=T1T2RT23dTT

W=23R(T2T1)

=23R×60=40R
