dE = q+w = dH-p(V2-V1)
If dE is + and dH is -, then w MUST be + so -p(V2-V1) must be +
With dH is - then heat must be released. That means A and B can't be right. The answer must be C or D. To make -p(V2-V1) +, must V2 or V1 be the larger number? If V2>V1, the w is -. If V2<V1, then w is +. So does the system expand or contract?
