Question

A cylinder with 0.20m diameter is fitted with a frictionless piston, initially fixed in place.

The cylinder contains 2.0 moles of Nitrogen gas at an absolute pressure of 4.0e5Pa. Nitrogen gas has a molar mass of 28 g/mol and behaves like an ideal gas.

a) What force does the gas exert on the piston? 

b) What is the volume of the gas if the temperature is 300K?

c) In a certain process the piston is allowed to move, and the gas expands at constant pressure and pushes the piston out 0.15m. How much work is done by the gas? 

Please answer all three parts, ABC.
