Thermodynamic Processes

Half mole of an ideal monoatomic gas is heated at constant pressure of 1 atm from 20oC to 90oC. Work done by gas is close to – (Gas constant R = 8.31 J/mol.K)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. At constant pressure W=nRΔTW = nR\Delta T.
  2. W=0.5×8.31×(90−20)=0.5×8.31×70≈291 JW = 0.5 \times 8.31 \times (90 - 20) = 0.5 \times 8.31 \times 70 \approx 291\text{ J}
  3. So the answer is (d) 291 J.
