A 220-ft3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed into a cylinder, where it exerts pressure of 2000 psi. Calculate the work (in J) performed when this gas expands isothermally against an opposing pressure of 1.0 atm. (The amount of work that can be done is equivalent to the destructive force of about 1/4 lb of dynamite, giving you an idea of how potentially destructive compressed gas cylinders can be if improperly handled!)

Peanuts and peanut oil are organic materials and bum in air. How many burning peanuts does it take to provide the energy to boil a cup of water (250 mL of water)? To solve this problem, we assume each peanut, with an average mass of 0.73 g, is 49% peanut oil and 21% starch; the remainder is noncombustible We further assume peanut oil is palmitic acid, C16H32O2, with an enthalpy of formation of 848.4 kJ/mol. Starch is a long chain of C6H10O5 units, each unit having an enthalpy of formation of 960 kJ.
