QUESTION 4

Calculate the work done (in Joules) during the gas-phase hydration of ethylene to produce ethanol in which the volume of the gases changes from 33.81 L to 16.90 L at a constant pressure of 5.223 atm and temperature.
C ₂H ₄(g) + H ₂O(g) ↔ C ₂H ₅OH(g)
The product of pressure and volume change should give units of L*atm. It can be shown that 1 L*atm = 101 J.

Key Concept:: Work is accomplished by causing a volume change at some pressure: w = −PΔV where ΔV = the change in volume
