What is the work done on a gas during an isochoric process?
Correct Answer: 0
  • Step 1: Understand what an isochoric process is. It is a process where the volume of the gas does not change.
  • Step 2: Recall the formula for work done on or by a gas. Work is calculated as the pressure times the change in volume (W = P * ΔV).
  • Step 3: Since the volume does not change in an isochoric process, the change in volume (ΔV) is zero.
  • Step 4: Substitute ΔV = 0 into the work formula. This means W = P * 0.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since W = 0, the work done on the gas during an isochoric process is zero.
