MCQ
The pressure-volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated by using the expression $\text{w}=-\int\limits^{\text{V}_\text{f}}_{\text{V}_\text{t}}\text{p}_\text{ex}\text{dV}\ .$The work can also be calculated from the $PV–$ plot by using the area under the curve within the specified limits. When an ideal gas is compressed $(a)$ reversibly or $(b)$ irreversibly from volume $V_i$ to $V_f$ . choose the correct option.
- A$w ($reversible$) = w ($irreversible$)$
- ✓$w ($reversible$) < w ($irreversible$)$
- C$w ($reversible$) > w ($irreversible$)$
- D$w($reversible$) = w ($irreversible$)\ + \text{p}_\text{ex}.\Delta\text{V}$
