Question
A gas expands from 1 liter to 3 liter at atmospheric pressure. The work done by the gas is about(A) $200 \mathrm{~J}$(B) $2 \mathrm{~J}$(C) $300 \mathrm{~J}$(D) $2 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~J}$
Step 1
Step 1: The work done by a gas during expansion or compression at constant pressure is given by the formula: \[ W = P \Delta V \] where \( P \) is the pressure, and \( \Delta V \) is the change in volume. Show more…

A gas expands from 5 litre to 205 litre at a constant pressure $50 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$. The work done is : (a) $2000 \mathrm{~J}$ (b) $1000 \mathrm{~J}$ (c) $10000 \mathrm{~J}$ (d) none of these
If a gas absorbs $200 \mathrm{~J}$ of heat and expands by 500 $\mathrm{cm}^{3}$ against a constant pressure of $2 \times 10^{\mathrm{s}} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$, then change in internal energy is (a) $-200 \mathrm{~J}$ (b) $-100 \mathrm{~J}$ (c) $+100 \mathrm{~J}$ (d) $+300 \mathrm{~J}$
A gas is compressed at a constant pressure of $30 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$ from a volume of $20 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$ to a volume of $10 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$. Energy of $300 \mathrm{~J}$ is then added to the gas by heating. Its internal energy is: (a) decreased by $600 \mathrm{~J}$ (b) decreased by $-100 \mathrm{~J}$ (c) increased by $600 \mathrm{~J}$ (d) increased by $100 \mathrm{~J}$
