Answer:
Work is done by the gas = 5.92 x 10⁵ J = 592 kJ
Explanation:
Work done at fixed pressure, W = PΔV
Pressure, P = 3.7 x 10⁵ Pa
Change in volume, ΔV = 1.6 m³
Substituting the values of pressure and change in volume we will get
Work done at fixed pressure, W = PΔV = 3.7 x 10⁵ x 1.6 = 5.92 x 10⁵ J
Work is done by the gas = 5.92 x 10⁵ J = 592 kJ
