Chemistry - Thermodynamics - I Question with Solution | TestHub

Reversible isothermal compression of an ideal gas represents the limiting minimum value of the workdone $(|\mathrm{w}|)$ by the surrounding on the system.

In an irreversible process, the cyclic integral of work is not zero.

For thermodynamic changes in adiabatic process $\mathrm{T}\left(\frac{{\mathrm{C}}_{\mathrm{p},\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)\cdot \mathrm{P}=$ constant

Work done by 1 mole of a real (vander waals) gas $\mathrm{W}=-\mathrm{RT}\ln \frac{{\mathrm{V}}_2-\mathrm{b}}{{\mathrm{V}}_1-\mathrm{b}}-\mathrm{a}\left[\frac{{\mathrm{V}}_1\times {\mathrm{V}}_2}{{\mathrm{V}}_2-{\mathrm{V}}_1}\right]$
