    The work done = - 73.8 kJ

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Volume of 30.0 l expanded tot 82.0 L

    Pressure = constant = 14.0 atm

    w = - P * (change in V)

    w = - 14 atm * (82-30)

    w = - 728 L*atm = - 728 * 101.325 J / 1 L*atm) = - 73764.6 J = - 73.8 kJ

    The sign is - meaning that work is done on the surroundings. The system is losing energy equal to the work done on it.
