Answer:
A free expansion of a gas results into no work.
Explanation:
In thermodynamics system, the work done is given by
W = P.ΔV
where P, is pressure of the system
and ΔV is the change in volume of the system.
While free of a gas there will be no external pressure on it so the pressure, P = 0.
Hence, the work done from the formula
W = P.ΔV
=> W= 0.ΔV
= 0
Hence, the work done by a free expansion of gas will be 0.
