Consider a mixture of air and gasoline vapor in a cylinder with a piston and an original volume of 42.5 cm³. The combustion of this mixture releases 925 J of energy. What volume will the gas expand to against a constant external pressure of 1.05 atm if all the energy is converted into work pushing on the piston?

volume of the gas expands to 8.74 Litres

Explanation:

The amount of work done by the gas is given by;

W = P•ΔV

Where;

W = work done by gas

P = Pressure

ΔV = change in volume i.e V_f - V_i

Where V_f is final volume and V_i is initial volume

Thus;

W = P(V_f - V_i)

We are given;

W = 927J

V_i = 42.5 cm³ = 42.5 x 10^(-6) m³

P = 1.05 atm = 106391.25 N/m²

Thus;

925 = 106391.25(V_f - (42.5 x 10^(-6))

925/106391.25 = V_f - (42.5 x 10^(-6))

0.00869432402 = V_f - (42.5 x 10^(-6))

V_f = 0.00869432402 + (42.5 x 10^(-6)))

V_f = 0.00874 m³

Final volume = 0.00874 m³

Converting to Litres, gives;

V_f = 0.00874 x 1000 = 8.74 Litres

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).
