For each of the reactions at constant pressure, determine whether the system does work on the surroundings, the surroundings does work on the system, or essentially no work is performed.

2H2O2 --> O2 + 2H2O

NH3 + HCl --> NH4Cl

CCl4 + 2F2 --> CF4 +2Cl2

HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

w=-PΔV 

Correct me if I am wrong:

ΔV=0 no work  

ΔV>0 -w work done by system  

ΔV<0 +w work done on system
