Ans:- Since the gas expands, work is done by the system on the surroundings and ‘w’ is negative.
= -1 x (10 - 5)
= -5L atm
= - 506.5J
ΔE = q + w
= 400 + (- 506.5)
= -106.5 J
OR
ΔE = q ± w
w = -1 x (10 - 5)
w = -5L atm
= - 506.5J

ΔE = q ± w
ΔE = 400J - 506.5J
ΔE = -106.5 J
2. A 5 litres cylinder contained 10 moles of hydrogen gas at 27˚ C. Due to leakage, entire gas
escaped into the atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure is 1 atmosphere. Calculate the work
done by the gas assuming hydrogen to be an ideal gas.
Since hydrogen is assumed to behave as an ideal gas, the final volume is given by

= 246.3 L
ΔV = 246.3 – 5 = 241.3 L
Hence, w = - PΔV
= -1 x (241.3) L atm
= -24443.7J
= -24.4437kJ
3. A gas present in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston expands against a constant pressure
of 1 atmosphere from a volume of 2 litres to a volume of 6 litres. In doing so it absorbs 800J
heat from surroundings. Determine increase in internal energy of process.
Ans :- since work is done against constant pressure and thus irreversible.
Given, ΔV = (6-2) = 4L
P = 1 atm
W = - PΔV

= -96.81 cal
= - 405.05 J
ΔE = q + w
ΔE = 800 J – 405.05J
ΔE = 394.95 J
OR
ΔE = q ± w
ΔV = (6-2) = 4L
P = 1 atm
w = - PΔV
w = - 1atm x 4 L
w = - 405.2 J
So, ΔE = q ± w
ΔE = 800 J – 405.05J
ΔE = 394.95 J
= [(1 + 2) – (1 + 1)] = +1
We know that,

1. Calculate the difference between the heats of reaction at constant pressure and constant
volume for the reaction
Ans:- Heat of reaction at constant pressure (ΔH) and heat of reaction at constant volume (ΔE) are
related as
ΔH = ΔE + ΔnRT
ΔH - ΔE = ΔnRT
= 12 – 15

ΔH - ΔE = ΔnRT
= - 743kJ
2. The heat of combustion of methane is measured in a bomb calorimeter at 298.2k and is found
to be - 885.5 kJmol-1. Find the value of enthalpy change ΔH.

4. The heat of combustion of ethylene at 18˚C and constant volume is – 335.8 k.cal when water
is obtained in liquid state. Calculate the heat of combustion at constant pressure at 18˚C. [R =

ΔS = + 285 Jmol K = 0.285 kJmol K

ΔG is given by
:
ΔG=ΔH–TΔS
Therefore at 509K, ΔG = 0. Below 509K, TΔS < ΔH and ΔG = 0. Hence at temperature below
509K, the reaction will not occur in the forward direction. However ΔG is negative in the
reverse direction. Therefore below 509K, the given reaction will proceed in the backward
direction.
