A sample of flammable liquid is placed into an enclosed cylinder which is then fitted with a movable piston. Initially the cylinder maintains a volume of 9.6 L. The sample is ignited producing gas and releasing 624.3 J of energy. To what volume will the cylinder expand to if it must expand against a pressure of 873.6 mmHg. Assume all the energy released is converted to work used to push the piston? Answer to 1 decimal space. 552.6 X Submit Question
