####16. An ideal gas undergoes isothermal compression from $5 m^{3}$ to $1 m^{3}$ against a constant external pressure of $4 Nm^{-2}$. Heat released in this process is used to increase the temperature of 1 mole of Al. If molar heat capacity of $Al$ is $24 J mol^{-1} K^{-1}$, the temperature of $Al$ increases by

19 Consider the reversible isothermal expansion of an ideal gas in a closed system at two different temperatures $T _1$ and $T _2$ $\left(T _1<T _2\right)$. The correct graphical depiction of the dependence of work done $(W)$ on the final volume $(V)$ is

Show Answer
Solution:
- It is an irreversible isothermal compression of an ideal gas.
(i) $d E=d q+p\left(V _f-V _i\right)$
where, $d E=$ Internal energy change
$$ \begin{aligned} d q & =\text { amount of heat released } \ \Rightarrow \quad 0 & =d q+p\left(V _f-V _i\right) \end{aligned} $$
$[\because d E=0$ for an isothermal process $]$
$\Rightarrow d q=-4(1-5)=16 J$
(ii) $\quad d q=n \times C \times \Delta T$ (for $Al$ )
$\Rightarrow 16 J=1 mol \times 24 J mol^{-1} K^{-1} \times \Delta T$
$\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{16}{24} K=\frac{2}{3} K$
