An insulated cylinder fitted with a piston contains 0.1 kg of superheated vapor steam. The steam expands

Question:

An insulated cylinder fitted with a piston contains 0.1 kg of superheated vapor steam. The steam expands to ambient pressure, 100 kPa, at which point the steam inside the cylinder is at 150C. The steam does 50 kJ of work against the piston during the expansion. Verify that the initial pressure is 1.19 MPa and find the initial temperature.
