When an ideal gas in a cylinder was compressed isothermally by a piston, the work done on the gas was found to be $1.5 \times 10^{4}$ joules . During this process about
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
In isothermal compression, there is always an increase of heat. which must flow out the gas.
$\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W \Rightarrow \Delta Q = \Delta W \quad ( \because \Delta U \equiv 0 )$
$\Rightarrow \Delta Q = -1.5 \times 10^{4}J = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{4}}{4.18} \text{ cal} = -3.6 \times 10^{3} \text{ cal}$
