Question

One mole of an ideal gas is expanded isothermally and reversibly at 27°C from a volume of 2.28m^3. What would be the change in internal energy?

a) 0 J
b) 2,000 J
c) 3,000 J
d) 4,000 J

Answer 1

The change in internal energy of the gas is 0 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

The change in internal energy (ΔU) of an ideal gas during an isothermal and reversible process can be calculated using the equation: ΔU = 0

Since the gas is expanding isothermally and is ideal, there is no change in internal energy. Therefore, the answer is (a) 0 J.
