July 20th, 2010
A gas changes in volume from 0.830 m3 to 0.270 m3 at a constant pressure of 1.30 105 Pa.
(a) How much work is done on the gas?
(b) How much work is done by the gas on its environment?
(c) Which of Newton’s laws best explains why the work done on the gas is the negative of the work done on the environment?
WD on gas = P x deltaV
WD by gas = negative of above
third law, I guess.
