Question:
A sample of flammable liquid is placed into an enclosed cylinder which is then fitted with a movable piston. Initially the cylinder maintains a volume of 5.1 L. The sample is ignited producing gas and releasing 654.4 J of energy. To what volume will the cylinder expand to if it must expand against a pressure of 748.18 mmHg. Assume all the energy released is converted to work used to push the piston?
