What is the constant external pressure of an ideal gas when expanded from 2 10⁻² ~m ^3 to 3 10⁻² ~m ^3 , if the work done by the gas is -5.09 ~kJ ?
Options
- A5.09 10^5 Nm ⁻²
- B1.01 10^5 Nm ⁻²
- C2.02 10^5 Nm ⁻²
- D5.60 10^5 Nm ⁻²
Correct answer
A. 5.09 10^5 Nm ⁻²
Step-by-step solution
aligned & W =- P _ ext [ V ₂- V ₁ ] & W =-5.09 ~kJ & =-5090 ~J & -5090=- P _ ext [3 10⁻²-2 10⁻² ] & 5090= Pext 1 10⁻² & P _ ext =509000 Nm ⁻² & =5.09 10^5 Nm ⁻² aligned
