Question:
A cylinder contains 45.0 L of an ideal gas at a pressure of 140 atm . If the gas expands at a constant temperature against an opposing pressure of 0.970 atm , how much work (in joules) is done? The final pressure of the gas is 0.970 atm.
Strategy
Use Boyle’s law to determine the final volume; then use the definition of PV work to determine work.
