Natural gas when allowed to expand from a volume of 5.2 L to a volume of 9.5 L. While the process of expansion takes place, 740 J of thermal energy was transferred from the surroundings to the methane gas. Based on the same expansion: How much work has been done if the gas expands against a pressure of 4.2 atm?
