One mole of a gas occupying 3 L volume is expanded against a constant external pressure of 1 bar to a volume of 15 L. Calculate work done by the system
Options
- A1.200 10^3 ~J
- B-2.43 10^3 ~J
- C-1.200 10^3 ~J
- D2.43 10^3 ~J
Correct answer
C. -1.200 10^3 ~J
Step-by-step solution
aligned V ₁ & =3 ~L =3 dm ^3 ~V ₂ & =15 ~L =15 dm ^3 ~W & =- P _ ext V & =- P _ ext ( V ₂- V ₁ ) & =-1 bar (15 dm ^3-3 dm ^3 ) & =-12 dm ^3 bar & =-12 dm ^3 bar 100 ~J dm ^3 bar & =-1.200 10^3 ~J aligned
