A sample of liquid water supercooled to -10°C placed in a thermally insulated compartment undergoes a spontaneous crystallisation to form a mixture of ice and liquid water. Calculate q, w, AT, AU, AH, AS, AG for the process (for some, you may not be able to calculate exactly - state if the quantity is positive, negative or zero).

A 220-ft3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed into a cylinder, where it exerts pressure of 2000 psi. Calculate the work (in J) performed when this gas expands isothermally against an opposing pressure of 1.0 atm.
