Calculate the amount of work done during isothermal expansion of a gas from a volume of 4 dm ³ to 6 dm ³ against a constant external pressure of 3 atmosphere?
Options
- A-30 4 ~J
- B-60 8 ~J
- C-607 8 ~J
- D-6 0 ~J
Correct answer
C. -607 8 ~J
Step-by-step solution
aligned V ₁=4 dm ³, & ~V ₂=6 dm ³, P _ ex =3 ~atm Now, W =&- P _ ex ( V ₂- V ₁ )=-3(6-4) =&-6 ~L . atm =-6 101.3 ~J ~W =&-607.8 ~J aligned
