A system expands in volume from 2.0 L to 24.5 L at constant temperature. Calculate the work (w) if the expansion occurs against a constant pressure of 5.00 atm

None

A sample of an ideal gas at 24.9 atm and 15.4 L is allowed to expand against a constant external pressure of 3.93 atm at a constant temperature. Calculate the work in units of kJ for the gas expansion. (Hint: Boyle’s law applies.)

1. Argon is allowed to expand isothermally (at 298 K) and reversibly from an initial molar volume of 5.0 L/mol to a final molar volume of 11 L/mol. (a) Calculate the work (in units of kJ to 4 sig. figs.) done assuming it behaves as an ideal gas (b) Calculate the work (in units of kJ to 4 sig. figs) assuming it is non-ideal using the van der Waals equation where a = 1.34 atm L2 mol-2 b = 3.20 x 10-2 L mol-1

Calculate the work done in joules in the following process: Expanding 21.9 L of oxygen gas at an external pressure of 0.71 atm to 23.7 L at a constant temperature.
