Question
For the same increase in volume, why work done is more if the gas is allowed to expand reversibly at higher temperature?
Solution
We know that for isothermal reversible expansion,
At higher temperature, internal pressure of the gas is more,
As ∆U is a state function, hence q + w is a state function.
At higher temperature, internal pressure of the gas is more,
