MCQ
A gas is expanded isothermally from volume $V_1$ to $V_2$ at a constant temperature $T,$ the work done by the gas in this expansion is:
  • A
    $\mu\text{RT}\log\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{V}_2}$
  • B
    $\mu\text{RT}\times\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{V}_2}$
  • $\mu\text{RT}\log\frac{\text{V}_2}{\text{V}_1}$
  • D
    $\mu\text{RT}\times\frac{\text{V}_2}{\text{V}_1}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\mu\text{RT}\log\frac{\text{V}_2}{\text{V}_1}$
