22. The First Law of Thermodynamics / Heat Equations for Special Processes & Molar Specific Heats / Problem 4

Consider a sealed container with a movable piston that contains 0.10 moles of carbon dioxide gas at an initial pressure of 4.0 atm and an initial temperature of 300 K. By maintaining a constant pressure, carbon dioxide is expanded until its volume doubles. How much energy must be added to the system to cause this expansion?
