The work done on the gas is W=-76.0J
The net energy transferred to the gas by heat in the process is 91 J
Explanation:
Given data:
The constant volume of the gas is 0.300L
The initial pressure is 2 atm
The final pressure is 1.50 atm
The formula to calculate the work done is given by,
W= -p(Vf-Vi)
Where,
P denotes the pressure
Vf denotes the final volume
Vi denotes the last volume
Therefore work done on the force is zero, due to the change in the volume is zero
Work done:
Given data
The initial volume of the gas is given by Vi - 0.300L
The final volume of the gas is given by Vf - 0.800L
The constant pressure of the gas is 1.50 atm
The formula to calculate the work done is given by,
W= -p(Vf-Vi)
Where,
P denotes the pressure
Vf denotes the final volume
Vi denotes the initial volume
Substitute the values we get
W= -(1.50 atm (1.30 x 10^5 Pa/atm) (0.800L-0.300L) (10^-3 m ^3/1L)
W=-76.0J
The work done on the gas is W=-76.0J
Net energy
The formula to calcualte the Net energy is given by ΔU = Uf - Ui
ΔU = Uf - Ui
ΔU = 182 -91 =91
The net energy transferred to the gas by heat in the process is 91 J
