    The document describes a gas enclosed in a cylinder where the initial volume is 2.5L at 1.0atm pressure and the final volume is 5.0L at 0.5atm pressure. Using the first law of thermodynamics, the work done by the gas as it expands from the initial to final state is calculated to be 1.25J.

    A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a piston. The initial volume of the gas is 2.

    5L, and the final volume is 5.0L. The


    initial pressure of the gas is 1.0atm and the final pressure is 0.5atm. Using the first law of thermodynamics, calculate
    the work done by the gas.

    Solution: W = P(Vf - Vi) = (0.5 atm)(5.0L - 2.5L) = 1.25atm*L = 1.25J
