A mixture of gaseous reactants is put into a cylinder, where a chemical reaction turns them into gaseous products. The
cylinder has a piston that moves in or out, as necessary, to keep a constant pressure on the mixture of 1 atm. The
cylinder is also submerged in a large insulated water bath. (See sketch at right.)
1 atm pressure
piston
cylinder
From previous experiments, this chemical reaction is known to release 242. kJ of energy.
water bath
gases
The position of the piston is monitored, and it is determined from this data that the system does 300. kJ of work on the
piston during the reaction.
