A sample of gas occupies a volume of 64.0 mL . As it expands, it does 137.1 J of work on its surroundings at a constant pressure of 783 Torr . What is the final volume of the gas

Answer : The final volume of the gas is, 34.8 L

Explanation :

Formula used :

where,

w = work done = 137.1 J = 35.8 L.atm      (1 L.atm = 101.3 J)

p = external pressure = 783 torr = 1.03 atm    (1 atm = 760 torr)

= final volume = ?

= initial volume = 64.0 mL = 0.0640 L      (1 L = 1000 mL)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Thus, the final volume of the gas is, 34.8 L

it is important to conserve water because there is very limited amount of freshwater here on earth and if we are not smart about how we use it we will only be runnning out of our supply faster than neccessarry.
