consider a mixture of air and gasoline vapor and a cylinder with a piston and an original volume of 42.5 cm^3. The combustion of this mixture release is 925J of energy. What volume will the gas expand to against a constant external pressure of 1.05 ATM if all the energy is converted into work pushing on the piston?
