Apiece of aluminum has a volume of 1.50 10-3 m3. the coefficient of volume expansion for aluminum is β = 69 ✕ 10-6 (°c)-1. the temperature of this object is raised from 22 to 320°c. how much work is done by the expanding aluminum if the air pressure is 1.01 ✕ 105 pa? j

W = 3.12 J

Explanation:

Given the volume is 1.50*10^-3  m^3 and the coefficient of volume for aluminum is β = 69*10^-6 (°C)^-1. The temperature rises from 22°C to 320°C. The difference in temperature is 320 - 22 = 298°C, so ΔT = 298°C. To reiterate our known values we have:

β = 69*10^-6 (°C)^-1       V = 1.50*10^-3  m^3       ΔT = 298°C

So we can plug into the thermal expansion equation to find ΔV which is how much the volume expanded (I'll use d instead of Δ because of format):

So ΔV = 3.0843*10^-5 m^3

Now we have ΔV, next we have to solve for the work done by thermal expansion. The air pressure is 1.01 * 10^5 Pa

To get work, multiply the air pressure and the volume change.

W = 3.12 J

Hope this helps!

the answer is 3.1 his answer is wrong mines is right
