Find the constant external pressure required to expand a gas from 2.5 L to 4.5 L if amount of work done is 500 J at 298 K ?
Options
- A1 bar
- B2.0 bar
- C1.5 bar
- D2.5 bar
Correct answer
D. 2.5 bar
Step-by-step solution
aligned V ₁ & =2.5 ~L , ~V ₂=4.5 ~L , ~W & =-500 ~J =-5 dm ^3 bar ( 100 ~J =1 dm ^3 bar ) W & =- P _ ext V P _ ext & =- W V =- W ( V ₂- V ₁ ) & = - (-5 dm ^3 bar ) (4.5-2.5) dm ^3 =2.5 bar aligned
