Question
One mole of an ideal gas is taken around a closed rectangular cycle in the pressure-volume plane with corners at (P, V) = (1.0e5 Pa, 2.0e-3 m^3), (3.0e5 Pa, 2.0e-3 m^3), (3.0e5 Pa, 6.0e-3 m^3) and (1.0e5 Pa, 6.0e-3 m^3), traversed in that clockwise order. Find the net work done by the gas in one complete cycle, in joules.
✓ Verified answer: 800checked by our engine — not a guess
Step-by-step solution
Net work in a cyclic process equals the area enclosed in the P-V diagram; clockwise means positive work by gas.
Area = (delta P)*(delta V) = (3e5 - 1e5)*(6e-3 - 2e-3) = 2e5*4e-3 = 800 J.
Final answer800.0
