Question

Consider the expansion of 10.0 L of gas originally at 10.0 atm pressure to a final pressure of 1.0 atm. The T remains constant at 250°C, Defining the gas as the system, calculate the work done when a.the P on the gas is suddenly decreased to 1.0 atm. Answer:-90 L atm b.the P. on the gas is suddenly decreased to 5.0 atm, allowed to come to equilibrium, and then the P. is again suddenly decreased to 1.0 atm. Answer:-130 L atm c.the P. on the gas is suddenly decreased to 6.67 atm, allowed to come to equilibrium, and then the P. is again suddenly decreased to 3.33 atm, allowed to come to equilibrium, and, finally, the P. is suddenly decreased to 1.0 atm. Answer:-153 L atm
