Question

Which of the following describes a property of work done on a gaseous system?

A. The work done on a system is directly proportional to pressure.
B. The work done on a system is directly proportional to time.
C. The work done on a system is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.
D. The work done on a system is inversely proportional to mass.

Answer 1

Work = Force x Distance

For a gas,
Work = Pressure x Area ; [force/area][volume] = force x length

The Pressure and Volume vary by:

\[W = \int\limits dW\]\[W = \int\limits_{a}^{b} P dV\]

Answer 2

So it's directly proportional to pressure?

Answer 3

yep

Answer 4

Thanks!
