Calculate wa, the work done by the gas as it expands along path a from v0 to va=rvv0. express wa in terms of p0, v0, and rv

The work done by the gas is :

The Ideal Gas Law that needs to be recalled is:

P = Pressure (Pa)

V = Volume (m³)

n = number of moles (moles)

R = Gas Constant (8.314 J/mol K)

T = Absolute Temperature (K)

Let us now tackle the problem !

Complete Question:

Calculate , the work done by the gas as it expands along path A from to .

Express and

Given:

initial volume = Vo

final volume = V_A

constant pressure = p_o

Asked:

word done by the gas = W_A = ?

Solution:

Work done by the gas is the area under Pressure Vs Volume Graph.
