The volume of a gas is \( 1.8 \mathrm{~m}^{3} \) at a pressure of \( 10^{5} \) Pa and temperature of \( 25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) . It is compressed in an isothermal process to get a pressure of \( 5 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa} \) . Determine the amount of heat released. (Gas constant \( \mathrm{R}=8.134 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mole}^{-1} \) )
A 180 kJ
B 126 kJ
C 290 kJ
D 145 kJ
Solution
