Energy conservation — practice question

A cylinder holds a fixed mass of gas. With the pressure kept constant at $1.3 \times 10^5\,\text{Pa}$, the gas increases in volume from $900\,\text{cm}^3$ to $1100\,\text{cm}^3$. How much work is done by the gas in this expansion?

  • A$26\,\text{J}$
  • B$130\,\text{J}$
  • C$2600\,\text{J}$
  • D$13\,000\,\text{J}$
