2. A closed system is a system in which heat can exchange between the system and surroundings, but matter cannot. Consider a chemical reaction performed in a flask that is connected to a piston forming a closed system. The reaction releases 930 J of heat to the surroundings and the gas produced pushes the piston upward against a constant external pressure of 1.1 atm so that the volume of gas changes from 1.0 L to 3.5 L (a) Determine the values for heat(q) and work (w) of the system. Report the values in Joules, along with the sign. (1 L-atm = 101.3 J)
