1. A certain gas expands in volume from 5.0 L to 11.0 L at constant temperature. Calculate the work
done (a) against a constant pressure of 5.12 atm. (b) and against a constant pressure of 1.25 psia.
2. How we determine the amount of work done, given the force associated with the work?
3. A gas expands and does work on the surroundings equal to 279 J. At the same time, it absorbs
216 J of heat from the surroundings. What is the change in internal energy of the system?
4. The work done to compress a gas is 74 J. As a result, 26 J of heat is given off to the surroundings.
Calculate the change in energy of the gas.
5. Calculate the work done in joules when 1.0 mole of water vaporizes at 1.0 atm and 100°C.

metals? Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings. (Hint: The heat gained by the gold must
be equal to the heat lost by the iron.)(CAu=0.129 J/g.°C, CFe=0.450 J/g.°C)
