Answer to Question #74892 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Saurabh

Question

A gaseous system expands from volume V1 to V2 under isobaric conditions.
Calculate the work done in this process.

Answer 1

We can find the work done at a constant pressure from the formula:
W=p∆V,
here, p is the pressure (which is constant under isobaric conditions), ∆V is the change in volume.
Then, we get:
W=p∆V=p(V_2-V_1 ).
