The pressure of a gas is \(100 \mathrm{kPa}\). If it is compressed from \(1 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\) to \(10 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\), find the work done.

  1. A \(990 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(9990 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(9900 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(99000 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(99000 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given,
\(
\text {pressure, } p=100 \mathrm{kPa}=10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}
\)
Initial volume, \(V_{1}=1 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\)
\(
\text {Final volume, } \begin{aligned}
V_{2} &=10 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^{3}=10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}^{3} \\
W &=p \Delta V \\
&=10^{5}\left(1-10^{-2}\right)=99,000 \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}
