Calculate the work in Joules, as a gas expands in volume in volume from 1.97 L to 5.30 L under a constant pressure of 0.57 atm. Report your answer with one decimal place. Do not include units in your answer (1 L x atm= 101.3 J)

There's a gas in a container expands at a constant pressure of 3 atm. Find work done (in J) by the gas if the initial volume is 5 liters and the final volume is 10 liters. Use 1 atm = 1.00 x 10^5 Pa.
