Thermodynamics : Work done in Different Processes

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for a clear comparison of work done during various thermodynamic processes involving gases, specifically in the context of IIT-JEE preparation. The focus is on understanding the magnitudes of work in both reversible and irreversible processes across different conditions such as isochoric and isobaric. A suggestion is made to refer to "Physical Chemistry" by Walter J. Moore, which is noted for its detailed examples relevant to the inquiry. The textbook is recognized as a valuable resource for physical chemistry, although there is uncertainty about its availability for the user preparing for the JEE.

I need some help in thermodynamics (chemistry).

I'm currently studying in class 11th, preparing for IIT-JEE. I am looking for a precise comparison between the work done in different types of thermodynamic processes on gases.

I searched the net a lot for this stuff, but all i got was explanation of processes in different types of systems.
What I am actually looking for is the comparison in magnitudes of work done in expansion/compression of gases in BOTH REVERSIBLE AND IRREVERSIBLE processes in different types of conditions (isochoric, isobaric etc.)

Can someone please help me out? Thank you.

Since you are (presumably) studying Chemistry, look in

Physical Chemistry by Walter J Moore

He shows some very good worked chemical examples of exactly the type you request.

It is also a superb physical chemistry textbook for other purposes by the way.
 
Since I am also preparing for JEE, I am not sure if he'd able to find Walter J Moore here.
 
yea...nuke's right!
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
