A system contracts from an initial volume of 15.0 L to a final volume of 10.0 L under a constant external pressure of 0.80 atm. What is w? (1 L \cdot atm = 101.3 J) Select one: A. -4.0 J B. +4.1 \times 10^2 J C. +81 J D. -4.1 \times 10^2 J E. +4.0 J

Step 1
Step 1: The work done by the system is given by the equation: $$w = -P\Delta V$$ where: * $w$ is the work done * $P$ is the pressure * $\Delta V$ is the change in volume Show more…

A system contracts from an initial volume of 15.0 L to a final volume of 10.0 L under a constant external pressure of 0.800 atm. (1 atm = 1.01x105 Pa, 1 Pa = 1 N/m2, 1 N = 1 kg·m/s2, J = 1 kg·m2/s2, 1 L = 10-3 m3). The value of w, in J, is show all work and explain A) -4.0 J B) 4.0 J C) -405 J D) 405 J E) 4.05 × 103 J
