Air is compressed in a cylinder such that the volume changes from 100.0 to 10.0 in^3. the initial pressure is 50.0 psia and the temperature is held at a constant 100.0 °f. how much work is required to change the volume? (hint you will need to identify what psia means)

5953.42 J

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume, = 100 in³

Final Volume, = 10 in³

Initial pressure = 50 psia

Temperature = 100° F = 310.93 K

For isothermal reversible process, work done is given as:

Work done =

Where,

R is the ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

or

Work done =

or

Work done = 5953.42 J

i think the answer is a, hope this : )

causes

fossil fuels burn

cities become more industrialized

human population grows worldwide
