A cylinder fitted with a piston contains 4.05 L of a gas at a pressure of 3.08 atm. The entire apparatus is contained in a water bath to maintain a constant temperature of 25 °C. The piston is released and the gas expands until the pressure inside the cylinder equals the atmospheric pressure outside, which is 1.00 atm. Assume ideal gas behavior and calculate the amount of work done by the gas as it expands at constant temperature. L atm Use correct number of significant digits;

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. -810.64 w = Incorrect 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. 3090.565 w = Incorrect
