Question
A real gas is subjected to an adiabatic process from (2 bar, 40 L, 300 K) to (4 bar, 30 L, 300 K) against a constant pressure of 4 bar. The enthalpy change for the process is
Options
A.Zero
B.6000 J
C.8000 J
D.10,000 J
Solution
$q = 0 \Rightarrow \Delta U = w = - P_{ext}.\left( V_{2} - V_{1} \right) = - 4 \times (30 - 40) = 40l - \text{bar}$
Now, $\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta(PV) = 40 + (4 \times 30 - 2 \times 40) = 80\text{L-atm = 8000 J}$
