Answer:
the work is done by the gas on the environment -is W= - 3534.94 J (since the initial pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure , it needs external work to expand)
Explanation:
assuming ideal gas behaviour of the gas , the equation for ideal gas is
P*V=n*R*T
where
P = absolute pressure
V= volume
T= absolute temperature
n= number of moles of gas
R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K
P=n*R*T/V
the work that is done by the gas is calculated through
W=∫pdV= ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV
for an isothermal process T=constant and since the piston is closed vessel also n=constant during the process then denoting 1 and 2 for initial and final state respectively:
W=∫pdV= ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV = n*R*T ∫(1/V) dV = n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)
since
P₁=n*R*T/V₁
P₂=n*R*T/V₂
dividing both equations
V₂/V₁ = P₁/P₂
W= n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁) = n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ )
replacing values
P₁=n*R*T/V₁ = 2 moles* 8.314 J/mol K* 300K / 0.1 m3= 49884 Pa
since P₂ = 1 atm = 101325 Pa
W= n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ ) = 2 mol * 8.314 J/mol K * 300K * (49884 Pa/101325 Pa) = -3534.94 J
The correct answer is
C ). A hypothesis includes an explanation for why two variables affect each other, but a law only describes how they affect each other.
Consider two variables said to be "inversely proportional" to each other. If all other variables are held constant, the magnitude or absolute value of one inversely proportional variable decreases if the other variable increases, while their product (the constant of proportionality k) is always the same.

-- The box will move to the left and accelerate to the left.
-- F=ma . a=F/m . a=(2N)/(4kg).
a = 0.5 m/s^2 to the left.
