question 17

Multiple Choice

In a steam engine,steam in a cylinder expands against a piston exerting 10.00 atm of external pressure.The volume of the cylinder increases by 10.00 L and simultaneously the steam cools,losing 3.000 $\times$ 10³ kJ of energy to the surroundings.What is the change in energy of the steam? (101.3 J = 1 L . atm)

• A)-3.010 \(\times\) 10³ kJ
• B)-3.001 \(\times\) 10³ kJ
• C)-3.100 \(\times\) 10³ kJ
• D)-1.313 \(\times\) 10⁴ kJ
• E)-2.990 \(\times\) 10³ kJ
