Solution
Given:
Initial volume (V1) = 15 dm3
Final volume (V2) = 20 dm3
External pressure (Pext) = 1.2 bar
To find: Amount of work in Joules
Formula:
W = − Pext.ΔV
W = − Pext (V2 − V1)
Calculation: From formula,
W = − Pext ΔV
= − Pext (V2 − V1)
= – 1.2 bar (20 dm3 − 15 dm3)
= – 1.2 bar × 5 dm3
= – 6 dm3 bar
Now, 1 dm3 bar = 100 J
Hence, W = `– 6 "dm"^3 "bar" × (100 "J")/(1 "dm"^3 "bar")` = – 600 J
The work done is – 600 J.
