The equation of state of a gas is PV=nRT(1-B/V),where R is the constant and B is a function of temperature alone.show that the workdone by one mole of this gas during a quasi static isothermal expansion from initial volume Vi to Vf.
Dear studentPlease find the link attachedhttps://www.askiitians.com/iit-jee-thermal-physics/work-done-during-isothermal-expansion.htmlRegards
Dear studentW = 2.3026 RT log10 (V2/V1)According to first law of thermodynamics, heat used up for the expansion of gas = W/JSo, H = 2.3026 (RT/J) log10 (V2/V1)Since P1V1 = P2V2, thus, V2/V1= P1/P2Substituting 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
