The specific heat of hydrogen gas at constant pressure is $C_P = 3.4 \times 10^3 \text{ cal/kg } ^oC$ and at constant volume is $C_V = 2.4 \times 10^3 \text{ cal/kg } ^oC$. If $1 \text{ kg}$ of hydrogen gas is heated from $10^oC$ to $20^oC$ at constant pressure,the external work done by the gas is:

  • A
    $10^5 \text{ cal}$
  • B
    $10^4 \text{ cal}$
  • C
    $10^3 \text{ cal}$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^3 \text{ cal}$
