0.5 moles of cinnamaldehyde gas that has an initial volume of ten liters expands under the following  conditions: 185°F and 800mmHg external pressure. a. How much work is done? Express your answer in L atm. b. Assuming that the container is cylindrical with a base radius of 10cm and can only expand  vertically, how much kinetic energy does a single molecule possesses if it travels from base  to base of the expanded cylinder in 10μs? Express your answer in J.  (Note that 1L atm=101.325J)
