Question
A sample of gas expands from volume V1 to V2 The amount of work done by the gas is greast, when the expansion is :
Options
A.isthermal
B.adiabatic
C.isobaric
D.all of these
Solution
We know that
Q = ᐃE + work done by gas
work done by gas = Q - ᐃE
work done by gasis maximum when ᐃE is minimum. For Isothermal change, ᐃE = 0. So, for isothermal expansion workdone is maximum.
Q = ᐃE + work done by gas
work done by gas = Q - ᐃE
work done by gasis maximum when ᐃE is minimum. For Isothermal change, ᐃE = 0. So, for isothermal expansion workdone is maximum.
