The initial pressure and volume of a gas enclosed in a cylinder are 2 x 10² N/m² and 6 × 10³ m³ respectively, if the work done in compressing the gas at constant pressure is 150 J. Find the final volume of gas.​

Final answer:

The final volume of the gas is 5999.25 m³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done in compressing the gas at constant pressure can be calculated using the equation:

Work = Pressure * Change in volume

In this case, the work done is 150 J, the initial pressure is 2 x 10² N/m², and the initial volume is 6 × 10³ m³.

So, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the final volume:

Final volume = Initial volume - (Work / Pressure)


Plugging in the values, we have:


Final volume = 6 × 10³ m³ - (150 J / 2 x 10² N/m²)


Final volume = 6 × 10³ m³ - 0.75 m³

Final volume = 5999.25 m³
