So in this problem, I understand I used the wrong equation for irreversible expansion. I'm wondering what the correct answer is, to check my corrections.
Also, for w=-pdeltaV, is the presssure the external pressure of the reactant pressure? and why?

The correct answer is -2.23 L*atm; and yes the external pressure on the system is the P we use since its the one impacting the system.
