A 1.2-m3 rigid tank contains nitrogen gas at 200 kPa and 350 K. Now heat is transferred to the nitrogen in the tank and the pressure of nitrogen rises to 900 kPa. The work done during this process is

Work done is 0 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of the tank (V) = 1.2 m³

Initial pressure of nitrogen (P₁) = 200 kPa

Initial temperature of nitrogen (T₁) = 350 K

Final pressure of nitrogen (P₂) = 900 kPa

The volume of nitrogen gas is same as volume of tank. Now, as the tank is rigid, the volume of nitrogen gas remains the same.

We know that,

Work done on a gas is given as:

Where, ΔV is the change in volume.

But, the volume here is constant. So, ΔV = 0.

Hence, the work done is also zero.

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.
