A gas is allowed to expand in a well insulated container against a constant external pressure of 2.5 atm from an initial volume of 2.50 L to a final volume of 4.50 L. The change in internal energy U of the gas in joules will be
- A500 J
- B505 J
- C+ 505 J
- D1136.25 J
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
w = - PextV = -2.5(4.50 - 2.50)
- 5 L atm = - 5 1.01.325 J = - 506.625 J
U = q + w
As, the container is insulted, thus q = 0
Hence, U = w = -506.625 J
