An ideal gas is allowed to expand form 1 L to 10 L against a constant external pressure of I bar. The work done in kJ is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 10
  • B –0.9
  • C – 2.0
  • D – 9.0

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

This is an irreverseable process as gas is expanding against a constant external process.

Work done in irreverseable process

W = - Pext Δ\Delta V

= - 1 bar ×\times 9 L

= - 105 Pa ×\times 9 ×\times 10-3 m3

= - 9 ×\times 102 N-m

= - 900 J

= - 0.9 kJ
