girl i don’t do chem but i’m pretty sure If the isentropic work is 80 kJ, then the actual work can be found using the following equation:

Actual work = Isentropic work / Isentropic efficiency

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Actual work = 80 kJ / 0.8 = 100 kJ

Therefore, the actual work of the pump is 100 kJ.
