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

Answer:

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

Explanation:

Given:

Ideal gas is maintained at a constant pressure [tex]P=200 \frac{N}{m^{2}}[/tex]

Change in Volume [tex]d v= -0.2 m^{3}[/tex]

To find:  

Work done by a system during an Isobaric Process

Solution:  

In a Isobaric Process, constant pressure is maintained, [tex]P=200 \frac{N}{m^{2}}[/tex]

According to the formula,

work done  [tex]\bold{W=P \times d v}[/tex]

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

[tex]=200 \times -0.2[/tex]

[tex]=40 \text { Joules }[/tex]

Result:  

Work done done by a system W= -40 Joules

the answer is C. -40 joules on plato, i got 100 on the test
