4. A system contracts from an initial volume of 15.0 L to a final volume of 10.0 L under a constant external pressure of 0.800 atm. The value of w, in J, is?

Respuesta :

The value of the work done in joule is 405.3 J.

We know that the work done is obtained using the relation;

w = PΔV

Where;

w = work done

P = pressure

V = volume

Now, substituting values,

w = 0.800( 15.0 -  10.0)

w = 4 atm L

Since;

1 L atm = 101.325 J

4 atm L  = 4 atm L × 101.325 J/1 L atm

= 405.3 J
