Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the work done by an ideal gas during an isobaric expansion if the pressure is 5 atm and the volume changes from 2 L to 5 L? (2019)
  • Step 1: Identify the pressure (P) of the gas, which is given as 5 atm.
  • Step 2: Identify the initial volume (V_initial), which is given as 2 L.
  • Step 3: Identify the final volume (V_final), which is given as 5 L.
  • Step 4: Calculate the change in volume (ΔV) by subtracting the initial volume from the final volume: ΔV = V_final - V_initial = 5 L - 2 L.
  • Step 5: Calculate ΔV, which equals 3 L.
  • Step 6: Use the formula for work done (W) during isobaric expansion: W = P * ΔV.
  • Step 7: Substitute the values into the formula: W = 5 atm * 3 L.
  • Step 8: Calculate the work done: W = 15 L·atm.
