Question

Consider the reversible isothermal expansion of an ideal gas in a closed system at two different temperatures t1 and t2 (t1 < t2 ). The correct graphical depiction of the dependence of work done (w) on the final volume (v) is

Answer 1

The correct graphical description is Y = mx - C.

Explanation:

W = - nRT ln V2 / V1

W =  - nRT ln Vb / Vi

|W| = nRT ln Vb / Vi

|W| = nRT ( ln Vb -  ln Vi)

|W| =  nRT ln Vb - nRT ln Vi

Y = mx - C

Hence the correct graphical description is Y = mx - C.

So, slope of curve 2 is more than curve 1 and intercept of curve 2 is more negative then curve 1.
