    Two moles of an ideal gas expand spontaneously into vacuum. The work done is

    A) 2 J                                          

    B) 4 J                          

    C) zero                      

    D) infinity

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    External pressure \[\text{(}{{\text{p}}_{\text{Ext}}}\text{)}\,\text{=}\,\text{0}\] (for vacuum) In other words, the gas expands against a zero external pressure. Hence, no work is done, because there is no force which oppose expansion. \[W={{p}_{ext}}\Delta V=0\]
