A gas can expand from 1oo ml to 250 ml under a constant pressure of 2 atm. The work done by the gas is …(a) -30.39 J (b) 25 J (c) 5 kJ (d) 16 J

Answer»

(a) -30.39 J

∆V = expansion in volume = 100 to 250 

∆V = V2 – V1 = 250 – 100 

∆V = 150 ml = 0.15 litre 

Work done = ? 

Pressure = 2 atm 

w = -P∆V 

= -2 x 0.15 litre x 101.3 JL-1 atm-1 

= -30.39 J.
