Question

If pressure is expressed in atmospheres and volume is expressed in liters, $P \Delta V$ has units of $L$ atm (liters $x$ atmospheres). In Chapter 11 you learned that 1 atm $=$ $101,325 \mathrm{~Pa}$, and in Chapter 2 you learned that $1 \mathrm{~L}=$ $1 \mathrm{dm}^{3}$. Use this information to determine the number of joules corresponding to $1 \mathrm{~L}$ atm.
