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.
Added by Pamela B.
Step 1
Given: 1 atm = 1.00 x 10^5 Pa Pressure = 3 atm Pressure in Pa = 3 atm * 1.00 x 10^5 Pa/atm = 3.00 x 10^5 Pa Show more…

A cylinder containing a gas is equipped with a piston and expands against an external pressure of 1.00 atm. If the initial volume is 0.250 L and the final volume is 2.50 L, how much work (in J) is done by the gas? 101.3 J = 1 L-atm

A gas at 10 atm pressure occupies a volume of 10 litres at 300 K. It is allowed to expand at the constant temperature of 300 K under a constant external pressure till the volume equilibrates at 100 litres. Calculate the work done.
