A sample of gas occupies a volume of 73.7 mL. As it expands, it does 133.7 J of work on its surroundings at a constant pressure

of 783 torr. What is the final volume of the gas?
A(S) + B(S) = C(g)
A(g)+B(g) = 3C(g)
A(g) + B(g) = C(g)
A(s) + 2B(g) = C(g)

In thermodynamics, work performed by a system is the energy transferred by the system to its surroundings. It can be calculated by the expression:

W = PdV

Integrating,

We will have,

W = P(V2 - V1)
133.7 (1 litre-atm / 101.325 Joule) ( 760 Torr / atm ) = 783 (V2 - .0737 )
V2 = 1.35 L

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
