Systems of Equilibrium Practice

[Rachel Yu 1G]

Are there any problems in the homework that uses the equation for work in a system of equilibrium (the integral equation that Dr. Lavelle went over in the lecture today)? Thanks!

I mean, any question that asks to calculate the work can technically use the integral work equation since it's where the -pdV comes from, so so far I've found that 4A.3 and 4A.5 help to practice!

Technically, you could use that formula to calculate the work in a system of equilibrium. However, we will learn another formula to calculate work when the volume changes. This is the formula: w=-nRT*ln(V2/V1). But, Dr. Lavelle will go over that in subsequent lectures.
