Calculate the constant external pressure required to expand 2 moles of an ideal gas from volume \(15 \mathrm{dm}^{-2}\) to \(20 \mathrm{dm}^2\) if amount of work done is \(-600 \mathrm{~J}\)

  1. A 1.2 bar
  2. B 1.5 bar
  3. C 1.8 bar
  4. D 2.1 bar
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1.2 bar

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P_{ext} = -\frac{W}{\Delta V}\) \(P_{ext} = -\frac{-600 \, \mathrm{J}}{(20 - 15) \, \mathrm{dm}^3}\)
