Question

One liter atmosphere equals:

• A. 101 Joule
• B. 8.31 Joule
• C. 0.082 Joule
• D. \( 1.01 \times 10^5 \) Joule

Hint:

One liter-atmosphere (L-atm) is a common unit of work in thermodynamics, equivalent to approximately 101 Joules.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The work done in a thermodynamic process is given by:
\[ W = P \Delta V \] For 1 liter-atmosphere (L-atm):
\[ 1 \text{ L-atm} = 101.325 \text{ Joules} \approx 101 \text{ J} \]
