A sample consisting of 1.0 mol CaCO_3 (s) was heated to 800 degrees C, when it decomposed. The heating was carried out in a container fitted with a piston that was initially resting on the solid. Calculate the work done during complete decopositon at 1.0 atm. What work would be done if instead of having a piston the container was open to the atmosphere?
