Annabelle Schmidt · Answer 1

there is no work done by the gas since the volume remains constant

Explanation:

for a closed system, the work that is done by the gas is defined as

W = ∫p dV

where p = pressure, V = volume

since the volume remains constant dV=0, therefore W=0

thus there is no work done by the gas
