Answer:
-306j
Explanation:
For this question we define an equation:
W = -Pext(Vj-Vi)-----> eqn 1
P = 6atm
Vi = 285 ml
We convert it to litre
= 285/1000 mL
= 0.285 L
Vj = 789 mL
When converted to litre
= 789/1000 mL
= 0.789 L
These values are all going to be put values in the eqn 2 above
W = -Pext(Vj-Vi)
W = -6.0x (0.789L - 0.285L)
W = -3.024
W = -3.024 x 101.33 J
This gives us the answer
W = -306 J
Thank you!
