hi, can you help me with q(b) please?

thank yoh

Work is the product of the pressure and the change in volume that occurs during a chem. ical reaction. EXAMPLE 11.2 Demonstrate that work is not a state function by calculating the work involved in expanding a gas from an initial state of 1.00L and 10.0 atm of pressure to (a) 10.0L and 1.0atm pressure, (b) 5.00L and 2.00atm and then to 10.0L and 1.00atm pressure. Solution (a) w=PV=(1.00atm)(10.0L1.00L) =9.00Latm (b) w=PV=(2.00atm)(5.00L1.00L)(1.00atm)(10.0L5.00L) =13.0Latm
