Consider an ideal gas enclosed in a $1.00\mathrm{L}$ container at an internal pressure of $18.0\mathrm{atm}$. Calculate the work, $w$, if the gas expands against a constant external pressure of $1.00\mathrm{atm}$ to a final volume of $18.0\mathrm{L}$. $w$ Incorrect Now calculate the work done if this process is carried out in two steps. 1. First, let the gas expand against a constant external pressure of $1.80\mathrm{atm}$ to a volume of $10.0\mathrm{L}$. 2. From the end point of step 1, let the gas expand to $18.0\mathrm{L}$ against a constant external pressure of $1.00\mathrm{atm}$.
