A sealed container initially contains an ideal gas at pressure \(P_{1}=2.0\ \text{atm}\), temperature \(T_{1}=300\ \text{K}\) and volume \(V_{1}=5.0\ \text{L}\). The gas is heated to \(T_{2}=350\ \text{K}\) while the external pressure is reduced to \(P_{2}=1.5\ \text{atm}\). (a) Assuming the gas expands reversibly to maintain equilibrium with the external pressure, determine the final volume \(V_{2}\). (b) Calculate the work done by the gas during the expansion, taking the external pressure as constant at \(1.5\ \text{atm}\). Express the work in joules.

Answer Options

A. Final volume V₂ ≈ 6.5 L; work done ≈ 3.5×10² J
B. Final volume V₂ ≈ 7.0 L; work done ≈ 4.0×10² J
C. Final volume V₂ ≈ 8.2 L; work done ≈ 5.0×10² J
Correct Answer D. Final volume V₂ ≈ 7.78 L; work done ≈ 4.2×10² J
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Final volume V₂ ≈ 7.78 L; work done ≈ 4.2×10² J
