One mole of an ideal gas at 300 K is expanded isothermally from an initial volume of 1 litre to 10 litres. The ΔE for this process is (R = 2 cal mol-1 K-1)

(a) 163.7 cal

(b) zero

(c) 1381.1 cal

(d) 9 lit atm

Correct answer: (b) zero

Explanation:

For a finite change ΔE = CvΔT.

For an isothermal process ΔT = 0. Hence ΔE = 0
