Calculate the work done assuming complete decomposition at


One mole of CaCO3 (solid) is place in an evacuated cylinder that is fitted with a frictionless piston. It is heated to 800 degrees, at which point it decomposes to CaCO (solid) and CO2 (gas). Calculate the work done assuming complete decomposition at 1.00 bar. How much work would be done if there was no piston and the container was open to the atmosphere?
