Answer to Question #18698 in Physical Chemistry for Noah595

Question

How much work is done by the system when
2.00 moles of O2 expand from a volume of
3.00 liters to a volume of 5.6 liters against a
constant external pressure of 0.0100 atm?
Answer in units of J

Answer 1

A = P x deltaV
A = 1.013 x 10^3 x (5.6 - 3) x 2 mol
А = 5.6728 x 10^3 J
