The correct answer is 8630
Wrev = –2.303 nRT log10 (V2/V1)
= –2.303 × 5 × 8.3 × 300 × log10(20/10)
≈ –8630 J
What will be the equilibrium constant of the given reaction carried out in a \(5 \,L\) vessel and having equilibrium amounts of \(A_2\) and \(A\) as \(0.5\) mole and \(2 \times 10^{-6}\) mole respectively?
The reaction : \(A_2 \rightleftharpoons 2A\)

Cobalt chloride when dissolved in water forms pink colored complex $X$ which has octahedral geometry. This solution on treating with cone $HCl$ forms deep blue complex, $\underline{Y}$ which has a $\underline{Z}$ geometry $X, Y$ and $Z$, respectively, are

In thermodynamics, work is a way of energy transfer from a system to surroundings, under the influence of external factors such gravity, electromagnetic forces, pressure/volume etc.
Energy (ΔU) can cross the boundary of a system in two forms -> Work (W) and Heat (q). Both work and heat refer to processes by which energy is transferred to or from a substance.
ΔU=W+q
Work done by a system is defined as the quantity of energy exchanged between a system and its surroundings. It is governed by external factors such as an external force, pressure or volume or change in temperature etc.
Work (W) in mechanics is displacement (d) against a resisting force (F).
Work has units of energy (Joule, J)
