Calculate the work for the expansion of CO2 from 1.0 to 6.5 litres against pressure of 1.0 atm at constant temperature

557.3J is the work of expansion of the CO2 gas

Explanation:

The work of expansion of a gas under constant temperature and pressure (Isobaric pressure) is:

W = P*ΔV

Where W is work

P is pressure = 1.0atm

ΔV = Final volume - Initial Volume = 6.5L - 1.0L = 5.5L

Replacing:

W = 1.0atm*5.5L

W = 5.5atmL

In Joules (1atmL = 101.325J):

5.5atmL * (101.325J / 1atmL) =

if you're asking what comes out, it's steam.
