Work Done During Reversible Expansion of Gas Calculato
Posted by Dinesh onOnline chemistry calculator to calculate work done during reversible expansion of gas or work destroyed (or work applied to) in an reversible compression of an ideal gas. This equation can be used only for ideal gas when the temperature remains constant during the process of expansion or compresssion.
Work Done in Reversible Expansion of Gas Calculation
Formula:
W = n × R × T × In(V2 ÷ V1)
Where,n = number of moles
T = Temperature
V1, V2 = initial and final volume
R = gas constant, (8.3144598 J×mol−1×K−1)
W = work done
