A sample of nitrogen gas expands in volume from 1.6l to 5.4l at constant temperature what is the work done in joules if the gas expands (a) against a vacuum and (b) against a constant pressure of 3.7 atm?

Answer:

Work done by the gas in isothermal expansion w = -p. DV

p = pressure, DV = final volume (V2) - initial volume (V1)

(a) When expand against vacuum then p= 0 atm

W = -0 atm×(5.4-1.6) L = 0 L.atm = 0 J

(b) Here, p = 3.7 atm

V2-V1 = ( 5.4-1.6) L = 3.8 L

1 L.atm = 101.325 J

w = - 3.7×3.8 L.atm

= -14.06 L.atm

= -14.06×101.325 J

= -1424.63 J

Answer:

a=0j

b=-308.03 J

Explanation:

(a) When expand against vacuum then p= 0 atm

W = -0 atm×(5.4-1.6) L = 0 L.atm = 0 J

(b) Here, p = 0.80 atm

V2-V1 = ( 5.4-1.6) L = 3.8 L

1 L.atm = 101.325 J

w = - 0.80×3.8 L.atm

= -3.04 L.atm

= -3.04×101.325 J

= -308.03 J
