A Compression at a Constant Pressure of 200 KPa Is $0.200 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 }$

Multiple Choice

A compression at a constant pressure of 200 kPa is performed on 8.00 moles of an ideal monatomic gas.The compression reduces the volume of the gas from $0.200 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 }$ to $0.120 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 }$ How much work was done on the gas during this process?

A) -16 kJ
B) 16 kJ
C) -40 kJ
D) 40 kJ
E) 0 kJ
