One mole of an ideal gas at 900 K, undergoes two reversible processes, I followed by II, as shown below. If the work done by the gas in the two processes are same, the value of lnV3V2 is

(U : internal energy, S: entropy, p: pressure, V: volume, R : gas constant) 

(Given: molar heat capacity at constant volume, CV,m of the gas is 52R)

Solution

Process -I: Adiabatic reversible process.

(Since entropy is constant)

WI=ΔU

=4502250R

=-1800 R

Process II: Isothermal reversible process.

(since internal energy is constant and entropy is increased)

Work done:

 WII=nRTlnVfVi

WII=nRTlnV3V2

WII=9005RlnV3V2

WII=9005RlnV3V2

U=52nRT

450 R=52nRT

nRT=9005R

Given

WI=WII

1800R=9005R lnV3V2

lnV3V2=10
