Answer:
the final volume of the gas is = 1311.5 mL
Explanation:
Given that:
a sample gas has an initial volume of 61.5 mL
The workdone = 130.1 J
Pressure = 783 torr
The objective is to determine the final volume of the gas.
Since the process does 130.1 J of work on its surroundings at a constant pressure of 783 Torr. Then, the pressure is external.
Converting the external pressure to atm ; we have
External Pressure :
The workdone W = V
The change in volume ΔV=
ΔV =
ΔV =
ΔV = 1.25 L
ΔV = 1250 mL
Recall that the initial volume = 61.5 mL
The change in volume V is
multiply through by (-), we have:
= 1250 mL + 61.5 mL
= 1311.5 mL
∴ the final volume of the gas is = 1311.5 mL
