Question

The pressure of an ideal gas varies with volume as P = α V , where α is a constant. One mole of the gas is allowed to undergo expansion such that its volume becomes ' m ' times its initial volume. The work done by the gas in the process is

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Given P = α V Work done, w = ∫ V mV ​ P d V = ∫ V mV ​ α V d V = 2 α V 2 ​ ( m 2 − 1 ) .
