Calculate the work done when 1 mole of an ideal gas expands from 15 dm3 to 20 dm3 against a constant external pressure of 2 atmospheres.
Answer: -10 atm.dm3
Explanation
To calculate the work done during the expansion of an ideal gas, we can use the formula for work done by a gas in an isobaric (constant pressure) process:
