When certain volume of gas expands against a constant external pressure of 2.40 10^5 ~Pa at 300 ~K to 2.2 10⁻³ ~m ^3 . If the work obtained is -0.048 ~kJ . What is the initial volume of the gas?
Options
- A2 10⁻³ ~m ^3
- B4.5 10⁻² ~m ^3
- C1.5 10⁻³ ~m ^3
- D2.8 10⁻² ~m ^3
Correct answer
A. 2 10⁻³ ~m ^3
Step-by-step solution
aligned & W =- P _ ext [ V ₂- V ₁ ] & -0.048 1000 ~J =-2.4 10^5 ~Pa [2.2 10⁻³- V ₁ ] m ^3 & 48 2.8 10⁻⁵=2.2 10⁻³- V ₁ & ~V ₁=2.2 10⁻³-0.2 10⁻³ & ~V ₁=2 10⁻³ ~m ^3 aligned
