What is the work done when a gas is compressed from 2.5 10⁻² ~m ^3 to 1.3 10⁻² ~m ^3 at constant external pressure of 4.05 bar?
Options
- A4050 ~J
- B4400 ~J
- C4200 ~J
- D4860 ~J
Correct answer
D. 4860 ~J
Step-by-step solution
aligned & W =- Pext [ V ₂- V ₁ ] & =-4.05 [1.3 10⁻²-2.5 10⁻² ] & =4.05 1.2 10⁻²=4.86 10⁻² bar - m ^3 & (1 bar =10^5 ~Pa , 1 ~Pa - m ^3=1 ~J ) & W =4.86 10⁻² 10^5 ~Pa - m ^2 & =4860 ~J aligned
