You have 1L of an ideal gas at 0 degree celsius and 10 atm pressure. You allow the gas to expand against a constant external pressure of 1 atm, while the temperature remains constant. Assuming, 101.3 J/liter-atm, find q,w,delta E, and delta H in Joules, A) if the expansion took place in a vacuum and b) if the gas were expanded to 1 atm pressure.
