. A piston has an external pressure of 12.0 atm. How much work has been done in joules if the cylinder goes from a volume of 0.120 liters to 0.650 liters? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Added by Charles K.
Step 1
We know that work done (W) is given by the formula: W = -PΔV, where P is the external pressure and ΔV is the change in volume. Show more…
