MCQ
Work done per mol in an isothermal change is
  • A
    $R T \log _{10} \frac{V_2}{V_1}$
  • B
    $R T \log _{10} \frac{V_1}{V_2}$
  • $R T \log _e \frac{V_2}{V_1}$
  • D
    $R T \log _e \frac{V_1}{V_2}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$R T \log _e \frac{V_2}{V_1}$
For isothermal process $P V=R T \Rightarrow P=\frac{R T}{V}$
$\therefore W=PdV=\int_{V_1}^{V_2} \frac{R T}{V} d V=R T \log _e \frac{V_2}{V_1}$
