A sample of 4.50 g of methane occupies 12.7 dm3 at 310 K. (a) Calculate the work done when the gas expands isothermally against

a constant external pressure of 200 Torr until its volume has increased by 3.3 dm3. (b) Calculate the work that would be done if the same expansion occurred reversibly.

Answer:

(A) Work done will be 87.992 KJ

(B) Work done will be 167.4 KJ            

Explanation:

We have given mass of methane m = 4.5 gram = 0.0045 kg

Volume occupies V_1=12.7dm^3=12.7liters

And volume is increased by 3.3dm^3 so V_2=12.7+3.3=16liters

Temperature T = 310 K

Pressure is given as 200 Torr = 26664.5 Pa

(a) At constant pressure work done is given by

W=P(V_2-V_1)=26664.5\times (16-12.7)=87992.85J=87.992kj

(b) At reversible process work done is given by W=nRTln\frac{V_2}{V_1}

We have given mass = 4.5 gram

Molar mass of methane = 16

So number of moles n=\frac{mass\ in\ gram}{mol;ar\ mass}=\frac{4.5}{16}=0.28125

So work done W=0.28125\times 8.314\times 310ln\frac{16}{12.7}=167.4J

Why is the force of gravity on your body weaker on the Moon than on the Earth?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The moon’s gravity is weaker than the earth gravity due to the smaller in size as compared to the earth. As there is no atmosphere present on the moon gravity, so there are fewer chances of withstanding temperature.

When a certain gas under a pressure of 4.90 106 pa at 20.0°c is allowed to expand to 3.00 times its original volume, its final p
Elina [12.6K]

As per question the initial states of the gases are given as

INITIAL STATE:                                          FINAL STATE:

p_{1} =4.90106 pa                       p_{2} =1.06106 pa

v_{1} =v[say]                                 v_{2} =3v[say]

T_{1} =20 degree celcius  =293 K              T_{2} =?

AS  per combined gas equation obtained from the combination of Boyle's law and Charles law [Basic ideal gas laws]

              \frac{p_{1} v_{1} }{T_{1} } =\frac{p_{2}v_{2}  }{T_{2} }

Hence T_{2} =\frac{p_{2} v_{2}T_{1}  }{p_{1} v_{1} }

                    =\frac{1.06106*3v*293}{4.90106*v}

                    =190.3 K [ANS]
