The work done by a chemical reaction that releases a gas produces 759.975 J of energy. If a piston is held at a constant pressure of 3 atm, what was the change in volume caused by the gas?
Added by Joshua R.
Step 1
1 L·atm is approximately equal to 101.3 J. So, 759.975 J is equal to 759.975 / 101.3 = 7.5 L·atm. Show more…

A gas with a constant pressure of $270 \mathrm{kPa}$ does 36,000 J of work as it expands. What was the change in volume of the gas?
For a constant-pressure expansion of a gas, the work done by the system (-w) is equal to the pressure P multiplied by the change in volume (ΔV) of a gas. Calculate the work done by the gas when its volume expands from 3.0 L to 8.0 L under atmospheric pressure. How much heat did it absorb if its energy did not change? Note: 1L atm = 101.325 J
