The correct answer would be the first option. The process that would need more energy would be vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. This can be seen from the latent heat of vaporization of each system. For the saturated water at 1 atm, the latent heat is equal to 40.7 kJ per mole while, at 8 atm, the latent heat is equal to 36.4 kJ per mole. The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat needed in order to vaporize a specific amount of substance without any change in the temperature. As we can observe, more energy is needed by the liquid water at 1 atm.
The pyrite will be bigger, because its density is much lower.
I <em>do</em> know that the gold's volume will be 2.5906 (With a bunch more numbers after it)
50 divided by 19.3 = 2.5906
In thermodynamics, work of a system at constant pressure conditions is equal to the product of the pressure and the change in volume. It is expressed as follows:
W = P(V2 - V1)
W = 1.3x10^5 (2x6 - 6 )
<span>W = 780000 J

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
