Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $\text{work}\left(\text{w}\right)$ has to be calculated and also the work done on the system or by the system has to be checked.

Concept Introduction:

Work:

The work done on the system or by the system can be calculated from the equation

$\begin{array}{l}\text{w}\text{=}\text{-}\text{P}\text{ΔV}\\ \begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Where,}\\ \text{w}\text{=}\text{work done}\end{array}\\ \text{P}\text{=}\text{Pressure}\\ \text{V}\text{=}\text{volume}\\ \end{array}\end{array}$
