Vikas TU · Answer

Dear student W = 2.3026 RT log10 (V2/V1) According to first law of thermodynamics, heat used up for the expansion of gas = W/J So, H = 2.3026 (RT/J) log10 (V2/V1) Since P1V1 = P2V2, thus, V2/V1= P1/P2 Substituting forV2/V1, H = 2.3026 (RT/J) log10 (P1/P2) On the other hand, if the gas is compressed, the work is done on the gas and is therefore negative. The work done for isothermal compression is given by, W = -2.3026 RT log10 (V2/V1) So, W =2.3026 RT log10 (V1/V2) Therefore, H = 2.3026 (RT/J) log10 (V1/V2) and H = 2.3026 (RT/J) log10 (P2/P1) Good Luck
