In many experimental petrology labs, argon is used to pressurize reaction vessels. The argon comes in cylinders 1.55 m long, with an internal diameter of 11 cm. The argon pressure is 2200 psi at 25°C. Assume argon behaves as an ideal gas. If the argon is released into a reaction vessel until it reaches a pressure of 1000 psi, what is the maximum amount of work it can do during that process? Under what circumstances would this work be done? . What is the minimum amount of work that could be done? Under what circumstances? How high could the maximum amount of work lift a 100kg weight?
