    Calculate the work done when 1 mol of an ideal gas is compressed reversibly from 1.0 bar to 4.00 bar at a constant temperature of 300 K.

    A)  4.01 kJ         

    B)  -8.02 kJ

    C)  18.02 kJ        

    D)  -14.01 kJ

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    W = - 2.303 nRT \[\log \frac{{{p}_{1}}}{{{p}_{2}}}\] Here, \[n=1\,mol,\,R=8.314\,J{{K}^{-1}}mo{{l}^{-1}}\] T = 300K, \[{{p}_{1}}=1\,bar=1\,atm=1\times 1.01\times {{10}^{5}}Pa\] \[{{p}_{2}}=4\,bar=4\,atm=4\times 1.001\times {{10}^{5}}Pa\] \[\therefore \] Work done \[=-2.303\times 1\times 8.314\times 300\,\log \frac{1}{4}\] \[=-2.303\times 1\times 8.314\times 300\] \[\times (-2\times 0.3010)\] \[=3457.9\,J=3.46\,kJ\approx 4.01\,kJ\]
