A mixture of krypton and neon gas is expanded from a volume of 65.0 L to a volume of 81.0 L, while the pressure is held constant at 62.0 atm. Calculate work done on the gas mixture. Round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct sign (positive or negative). I kJ
Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.
Exergonic Reaction
The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.

The task requires calculating the work done using the formula for work done by gas expansion under constant pressure:
\[ \text{Work (W) = -P} \times \Delta V \]
Where:
- \( P \) is the pressure (62.0 atm),
- \( \Delta V \) is the change in volume (81.0 L - 65.0 L).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fbbe65920-51db-4733-b545-d98e6e5931db%2Fa5ceac14-f485-42e1-92a3-a57e30f6ad2c%2Fbxdnl57_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
