Answer:-3,325.6J or -3.326Kj
Explanation:
The work done on a gas by a frictionless piston is given by
Work done =∆pv=P1V1-P2V2
Given an ideal gas situation
We have the relationship
PV=nRT where R is gas constant =8.314j/k
n=mole of gas
Substituting,we have
W=p1v1-p2v2=mR(T1-T2)/n-1
M=mass of the Argon=2kg
T1=0°c=0+273=273K
T2=80+273=353k
n=polytropic index or rate of compression 1.4
Work done =2×8.314×(273-353)/1.4-1=-3,325.6joules
Negative sign means work input
Note :equation is polytropic because it is governed by the relationship pv^n=constant
