What work is done by a system on its environment when an ideal gas is maintained at a constant pressure of 200 newtons/meter2 during an isobaric process, while the volume decreases by 0.2 cubic meters? a. 40 joules b. 1,000 joules c. -40 joules d. -1,000 joules

Work done done by a system on its environment is W=40 Joules

Explanation:

Given:

Ideal gas is maintained at a constant pressure

Change in Volume

To find:  

Work done by a system during an Isobaric Process

Solution:  

In a Isobaric Process, constant pressure is maintained,

According to the formula,

work done  

Substitute the values of pressure and change in volume in the above formula,

Result:  

Work done done by a system W= -40 Joules
