Answer:
1,900 J
Explanation:
The number of moles of helium gas, n = 2 moles
The pressure of the helium gas, p = 1.0 Ă 10â” Pa
The initial temperature of the gas, Tâ = 2°C = 275.15 K
The final temperature of the gas, Tâ = 112°C = 385.15 K
The initial volume of the gas, Vâ = 45 liters
Cp = 20.8 J/(mol·K), Cv = 12.6 J/(mol·K)
The work done by the gas having constant pressure expansion is given as follows;
From the ideal gas law, we have;
[tex]V_2 = \dfrac{T_2 \times n \times R}{P}[/tex]
Where;
R = The universal gas constant = 8.314 J/(molĂK)
Therefore, we get;
[tex]V_2 = \dfrac{385.15 \, K \times 2 \, moles \times 8.314 \, \dfrac{J}{mol \cdot K} }{1.0 \times 10^5 \ Pa} \approx 64.0 \, L[/tex]
The work done, W = P ĂÎV = P Ă (Vâ - Vâ)
⎠W = 1.0 à 10┠Pa à (64.0 L - 45.0 L) = 1,900 J
The work done by the gas as it expands, W = 1,900 J.
