Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the work done by a gas during expansion at constant pressure?
  • Step 1: Understand that work done by a gas is related to how much it expands.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when a gas expands at constant pressure, the pressure (P) remains the same.
  • Step 3: Identify that ΔV represents the change in volume, which is the final volume minus the initial volume.
  • Step 4: Use the formula W = PΔV to calculate the work done, where W is the work, P is the constant pressure, and ΔV is the change in volume.
