Answer:
The amount of work done on the system is 18234 J and the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.
Explanation:
Thermodynamic work is called the transfer of energy between the system and the environment by methods that do not depend on the difference in temperatures between the two. When a system is compressed or expanded, a thermodynamic work is produced which is called pressure-volume work (p - v).
The pressure-volume work done by a system that compresses or expands at constant pressure is given by the expression:
W system= -p*∆V
Where:
In this case:
Replacing:
W system= -1.013*10⁶ Pa* (-0.018 m³)
Solving:
W system= 18234 J
The amount of work done on the system is 18234 J and the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.
