A Compression at a Constant Pressure Of $200 \mathrm { kPa }$

question 36

Multiple Choice

A compression at a constant pressure of $200 \mathrm { kPa }$ is performed on $8.00$ moles of an ideal monatomic gas. The compression reduces the volume of the gas from $0.200 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 }$ to $0.120 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 }$ . How much work was done by the gas during this process?

• A) \(- 40 \mathrm {~kJ}\)
• B) \(0 \mathrm {~kJ}\)
• C) \(40 \mathrm {~kJ}\)
• D) \(16 \mathrm {~kJ}\)
• E) \(- 16 \mathrm {~kJ}\)
