17. Consider a system consisting of the following apparatus, in which gas is confined in one flask and there is a vacuum in the other flask. The flasks are separated by a valve. Assume that the flasks are perfectly insulated and will not allow the flow of heat into or out of the flasks to the surroundings. When the valve is opened, gas flows from the filled flask to the evacuated one. (a) Is work performed during the expansion of the gas? (b) Why or why not? (c) Can you determine the value of AE for the process? A B 1 atm Evacuated

General Chemistry 4th Edition McQuarrie • Rock • Gallogly University Science Books presented by Macmillan Learning Consider an ideal gas enclosed in a 1.00 L container at an internal pressure of 24.0 atm. Calculate the work, w, if the gas expands against a constant external pressure of 1.00 atm to a final volume of 24.0 L. w = J Now calculate the work done if this process is carried out in two steps. 1. First, let the gas expand against a constant external pressure of 1.50 atm to a volume of 16.0 L. 2. From the end point of step 1, let the gas expand to 24.0 L against a constant external pressure of 1.00 atm. w = J
