The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

To solve the matching problem, we need to calculate the thermodynamic quantities based on the given processes and match them with the given magnitudes.

  1. For process A, we have a reversible isothermal expansion of 2 mol of an ideal gas from 2 dm3 to 20 dm3 at 300 K:
    • The work done in reversible isothermal expansion is given by \(W = nRT \ln \left(\frac{V_f}{V_i}\right)\).
    • Substitute: \(n = 2\)\(R = 8.314 \, \text{J/mol K}\)\(T = 300 \, \text{K}\)\(V_i = 2 \, \text{dm}^3\)\(V_f = 20 \, \text{dm}^3\).
    • Calculate: \(W = 2 \times 8.314 \times 300 \times \ln(10) \approx 11.5 \, \text{kJ}\).
  2. For process B, we have an irreversible isothermal expansion of 1 mol ideal gas from 1 m3 to 3 m3 at 300 K against a constant pressure of 3 kPa:
    • The work done is given by \(W = P \Delta V\).
    • Substitute: \(P = 3 \, \text{kPa} = 3000 \, \text{J/m}^3\)\(\Delta V = 3 - 1 = 2 \, \text{m}^3\).
    • Calculate: \(W = 3000 \times 2 = 6 \, \text{kJ}\).
  3. For process C, we have a change in internal energy for adiabatic expansion with a change in temperature of 320 K and \(C_V = \frac{3}{2} R\):
    • The change in internal energy is given by \(\Delta U = nC_V \Delta T\).
    • Substitute: \(n = 1\)\(C_V = \frac{3}{2} \times 8.314\)\(\Delta T = 320 \, \text{K}\).
    • Calculate: \(\Delta U = 1 \times \frac{3}{2} \times 8.314 \times 320 = 4 \, \text{kJ}\).
  4. For process D, we have a change in enthalpy at constant pressure with a change in temperature of 337 K and \(C_p = \frac{5}{2} R\):
    • The change in enthalpy is given by \(\Delta H = nC_p \Delta T\).
    • Substitute: \(n = 1\)\(C_p = \frac{5}{2} \times 8.314\)\(\Delta T = 337 \, \text{K}\).
    • Calculate: \(\Delta H = 1 \times \frac{5}{2} \times 8.314 \times 337 = 7 \, \text{kJ}\).

Thus, the correct matching is: A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV.
