A cylinder of volume 0.1 m3 is filled with nitrogen at 10 MPa and 300 K. Consider nitrogen to be an ideal gas. The cylinder develops a leak and nitrogen escapes to atmosphere which is at 0.1 MPa. After sometime, the pressure in the cylinder reduces to 5 MPa. Assuming the cylinder and the leaked gas temperature remains constant at 300 K, the work done (in MJ) by nitrogen gas is
- A. 0.1
- B. 1
- C. 0.5
- D. 10
Answer: C. 0.5
