Two moles of an ideal gas are expanded isothermally from 15 dm ^3 to 20 dm ^3 . If the amount of work done is -6 dm ^3 bar, find external pressure needed to obtain this work.
Options
- A1.2 10^5 ~Pa
- B3.2 ~Pa
- C8.1 10^4 ~Pa
- D2.4 ~Pa
Correct answer
A. 1.2 10^5 ~Pa
Step-by-step solution
aligned & W =- Pext. [ V ₂- V ₁ ] & -6 bar. dm ^3=- Pext [20-15] & Pext = 6 5 =1.2 bar & (1 bar =10^5 ~Pa ) & Pext =1.2 10^5 ~Pa aligned
