A mixture of gaseous reactants is put into a cylinder, where a chemical reaction turns them into gaseous products. The cylinder has a piston that moves in or out, as necessary, to keep a constant pressure on the mixture of 1 atm. The cylinder is also submerged in a large insulated water bath. (See sketch at right.) From previous experiments, this chemical reaction is known to release 166. kJ of energy. The position of the piston is monitored, and it is determined from this data that the system does 290. kJ of work on the piston during the reaction.

You have a gas in a container fitted with a piston and you change one of the conditions of the gas such that a change takes place, as shown below: State two distinct changes you can make to accomplish this, and explain why each would work.
