An ideal gas is allowed to expand from 1 L to 10 L against a constant external pressure of 1 bar. The work done in k J is:
Options
- A+ 10.0
- B- 2.0
- C- 0.9
- D- 9.0
Correct answer
C. - 0.9
Step-by-step solution
w - P e x t v 2 - v 1 ⇒ - 1 bar 10 L - 1 L ⇒ - 9 L   bar ∴ 1 L   bar   = 100   J ⇒ - 900   J ⇒ - 0.90   k J
