a gas cylinder contains N2 at 200 Kpa
and 80°C as result of cooling the pressure drop to 190 Kpa
and 30°C. how much work was done on the gas? can i
please a solution for that equation.
Sure! To calculate the work done on the gas, we can use the formula:
Work (W) = ∫P dV
Where P is the pressure and dV is the change in volume. However, in this case, we are not given the change in volume directly, so we need to find it.
To find the change in volume, we can use the ideal gas law equation:
PV = nRT
Where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
Given:
Initial pressure (P1) = 200 KPa
Final pressure (P2) = 190 KPa
Initial temperature (T1) = 80°C = 353.15 K
Final temperature (T2) = 30°C = 303.15 K
Since the number of moles (n) and the volume (V) of the gas remain constant, we can write:
(P1/T1) = (P2/T2)
Now, let's solve for the initial volume (V1) using the initial conditions:
(V1) = (nRT1)/P1
Next, we'll solve for the final volume (V2) using the final conditions:
(V2) = (nRT2)/P2
To calculate the work done on the gas, we'll use the formula:
Work (W) = PdV = P(V2 - V1)
Now we have all the necessary information to calculate the work done on the gas.
