A gas increases in pressure from 2.00 atm to 6.00 atm at a constant volume of 1.

Question

A gas increases in pressure from 2.00 atm to 6.00 atm at a constant volume of 1.00 m3 and then expands at constant pressure to a volume of 3.00 m3 before returning to its initial state as shown in the figure below. How much work is done in one cycle?

Explanation / Answer

work done=area of the Pv chart

=1/2*(3-1)*(6-2)*1.0123*10^5J

=404920J=404.92kJ
