Answer:
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the initial pressure of the gas during the isothermal expansion, we can use the formula for work done in an isothermal process:
Work = nRT ln(V2/V1)
Where:
Work is the total work done by the gas (9.67 J)
n is the number of moles of the gas
R is the ideal gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K))
T is the temperature in Kelvin (since it's an isothermal process, the temperature remains constant)
V1 is the initial volume (175 cm^3)
V2 is the final volume (343 cm^3)
First, we need to convert the volumes from cm^3 to m^3:
V1 = 175 cm^3 = 175 × 10^(-6) m^3
V2 = 343 cm^3 = 343 × 10^(-6) m^3
Next, we rearrange the formula to solve for the initial pressure (P1):
P1 = (Work) / (nRT ln(V2/V1))
Since we don't have information about the number of moles, we cannot calculate the exact initial pressure without that information.
