Answer:
W = 278.64375 Joules
Explanation:
The information given in this problem are;
Initial volume = 0L
Final volume = 2.50L
ΔV = 2.50 - 0 = 2.50 L
External pressure, P = 1.10 atm
Work = ?
These parameters are related by the equation;
w = - P ΔV
W = - (1.10 )(2.50)
W = 2.75 L atm
Upon conversion to joules;
1 liter atmosphere is equal to 101.325 joule
W = 278.64375 Joules
