Be sure to answer all parts. A sample of nitrogen gas expands in volume from 1.4 to 5.8 L at constant temperature. Calculate the work done in joules if the gas expands (a) against a vacuum: J (b) against a constant pressure of 0.73 atm: × 10 J Enter your answer in scientific notation. (c) against a constant pressure of 4.1 atm: × 10 J Enter your answer in scientific notation.

Respuesta :

Answer: 0, 3.212J, 18.04J

Explanation:

a) Work done by gae against vacuum is zero because in vacuum Pressure =0

W=P️V

=0 x (5.8-1.4)

= 0 Ans

b)

W=P️V

= 0.73 x ( 5.8-1.4)

= 3.212 J

c)

W =P️V

=4.1 x (5.8-1.4)

= 18.04 J
