A balloon with a volume of 0.25 m^3 contains air at a pressure of 150 kPa. Additional air is pumped in at constant pressure until the volume is tripled. Calculate the work done.
Added by Jason F.
Step 1
We know the initial volume (V1) is 0.25 m^3 and the final volume (V2) is triple the initial volume, so V2 = 3 * 0.25 m^3 = 0.75 m^3. Show more…

A balloon behaves so that the pressure is $P=C_{2} V^{1 / 3}$ and $C_{2}=100 \mathrm{kPa} / \mathrm{m}$. The balloon is blown up with air from a starting volume of $1 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$ to a volume of $4 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$. Find the final mass of air, assuming it is at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ and the work done by the air.
A balloon behaves so the pressure is $P=C_{2} V^{1 / 3}$ $C_{2}=100 \mathrm{kPa} / \mathrm{m} .$ The balloon is blown up with air from a starting volume of $1 \mathrm{m}^{3}$ to a volume of $3 \mathrm{m}^{3} .$ Find the final mass of the air, assuming it is at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ and the work done by the air.
Helium gas expands from $125 \mathrm{kPa}, 350 \mathrm{K},$ and $0.25 \mathrm{m}^{3}$ to $100 \mathrm{kPa}$ in a polytropic process with $n=1.667 .$ How much work does it give out?
