d

✓ Correct answer: c)

- 413.14 calories

Explanation

For isothermal reversible expansion:

\(W=−nRT\ln ⁡(\frac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{2}})\)

\(W=−1\times 2\times 298\times \ln ⁡(\frac{20}{10})=−596\times \ln ⁡(2)\\ =−596\times (0.693)=–413.14\text{ }\text{cal}\)

OR

\(W=−2.303n\text{ }RT\text{ log}\left(\frac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{2}}\right)\)

\(=−2.303\times 1\times 2\times 298\times \text{log}\frac{20}{10}\)

\(=−2.303\times 596\times \text{log}2\)

\(=−2.303\times 596\times 0.3010\)

\(W=−413.14\text{ calories }\)

PYQ

A protein undergoes reversible thermal denaturation from its initial state N to denatured state D according to \(\mathrm{N}⇌\mathrm{D}\). At 60ºC, the concentrations of both N and D are equal at equilibrium, and the standard enthalpy change of denaturation is 666 \(\mathrm{kJ}{\mathrm{mol}}^{-1}\). The standard entropy change (\(∆\mathrm{S}º\) in \(\mathrm{kJ}{\mathrm{K}}^{-1}{\mathrm{mol}}^{-1}\)) of the protein upon denaturation at 60ºC is closest to
