How much work (in J) is required to expand the volume of a pump from 0.0 L to 2.2 L against an external pressure of 1.2 atm

Respuesta :

Answer:

267.498 J is required to expand the volume of a pump from 0.0 L to 2.2 L against an external pressure of 1.2 atm

Explanation:

The volume change work of a gas is the work necessary for the gas to go from an initial volume Vi to a final volume Vf. If the volume decreases, the gas will have been compressed and it is a compression work; whereas if the volume increases, the gas will have expanded and it is expansion work.

The work is calculated by:

W= - P*ΔV= -P*(Vfinal - Vinitial)

In this case:

  • W= ?
  • P= 1.2 atm= 121590 [tex]\frac{N}{m^{2} }[/tex] (being 1 atm= 101325[tex]\frac{N}{m^{2} }[/tex] )
  • ΔV= Vfinal - Vinitial= 2.2 L - 0 L= 2.2 L= 0.0022 m³ (being 1 L=0.001 m³)

Replacing:

W= -121590 [tex]\frac{N}{m^{2} }[/tex]*0.0022 m³= - 267.498 N*m= -267.498 J

267.498 J is required to expand the volume of a pump from 0.0 L to 2.2 L against an external pressure of 1.2 atm

The work require to expand the volume of the given pump is 267.5 J.

The given parameters;

  • initial volume of the gas, V₁ 0.0 L
  • final volume of the gas, V₂ = 2.2 L
  • external pressure, P = 1.2 atm

The work require to expand the volume of the given pump is calculated as follows;

W = PΔV

W = 1.2 atm (2.2 L - 0 L)

W = 2.64 atm.L

[tex]W = 2.64 \ atm.L \times \frac{101325 \ Pa}{1 \ atm} \times \frac{0.001 \ m^3}{1 \ L} \\\\W = 267.5 \ J[/tex]

Thus, the work require to expand the volume of the given pump is 267.5 J.
