    Finding pressure increase required to impart 1J of work

    Homework Statement a) Estimate the pressure increase required to impart 1 J of mechanical work in reversibly compressing 1 mol of silver at room temperature. b) What pressure rise would be required to impart 1 J of work to 1 mol of alumina at room temperature? For AL2O3 take the molar volume to...
