a In the reaction of two moles of gaseous sulfur dioxide and one mole of gaseous oxygen to form two moles of gaseous sulfur trioxide, two moles of products are formed from 3 moles of reactants. If this reaction is done at 1.00 atm pressure (and at 0 °C), the volume is reduced by 22.4 L. In this reaction, how much work is done on the system (SO2, O2, SO3) by the surroundings?

1. When gasoline burns in an automobile engine, the heat released (325 J) causes the products CO2 and H20 to expand, which pushes the pistons outward. Excess heat is removed by the car's cooling system. If the work associated with the expanding gases is equal to 451 J, how much is the change in internal energy of the gases? How much is the change in internal energy of the piston?
Consider an ideal gas enclosed in a 1.00 L container at an internal pressure of 24.0 atm.
