When an ideal gas is compressed in a piston using 5 atm of pressure through a 50-metre cube of volume, what is the amount of work done? Correct Answer 250 Newton metre

When a pressure P is exerted through a volume V the work done is given by P ΔV, so here pressure is 5 atm and volume is a 50-metre cube. The work that is done is 5 atm X 50-metre cube = 250 Newton metre.
