Best Answer

It is -340.368 Joules.

The formula is: w=-P*change in volume=-1.2atm*2.8L=-3.36L*atm

Then convert the units-- 1L*atm=101.3J

Function ofbulb of sphygmomanometer?

The function of the bulb of a manual sphygmomanometer is to inflate the cuff to stop the flow of arterial blood in the arm so that the blood pressure can be determined. The bulb pumps air into the cuff, causing it to expand against the upper arm. Enough air is pumped into the cuff to stop the flow of arterial blood. The pressure is then slowly released and the point at which blood begins to flow again is recorded as the systolic pressure, representing the highest arterial pressure of the cardiac cycle. Blood flows only with the beating of the heart, however, and further pressure is released until the arterial blood flows freely. This point is recorded as the diastolic pressure, representing the lowest arterial pressure when the heart is at rest.


Expand means to get what?

Expand generally means to expand the problem. I'm assuming this is a function, you'd expand it into a simpler form (factor things out and such).


Explain why do bus tires can greatly increase when traveling over along distance at high speed?

Vehicles ove forward because of friction between the tyres and the road. Friction causes heat so the tyres and the air inside them heat up. A confined gas (air) tries to expand when it is heated. Tyres will expand, when the air inside applies sufficient pressure.

What would happen if you put a balloon in the sun?

It would expand as the gases inside expand against the pressure of the skin of the balloon and the atmospheric pressure.


How does the altitude effect the size of a balloon?

As the external pressure drops with increasing altitude, balloons generally expand with height.


What would happen if you inflated a balloon on the moon?

Since there is no external pressure to counteract the internal gas pressure, the gas would expand until the balloon burst.


Why do balloons expand as they rise through the troposphere?

The ballon contains a fixed amount of gas producing internal pressure. At the surface, this pressure equals the surface atmospheric pressure. As the balloon rises, the atmospheric pressure drops, allowing the balloon to expand, keeping the internal pressure and external pressure equal. If the balloon is fully inflated at the surface it will burst at higher altitude.


Why does a tire expand as you pump air into it?

because you're putting pressure inside the tire of the required psi recommended


What causes excessive coolant loss?

Normally a leak in the sytem, either internal or external. More details would be required to expand on the answers to be given


Can air expand?

Air expand on heating as heat in a gas is the random kinetic energy of the molecules. Pressure is the result of kinetic energy in one direction, so an increase in heat leads to an increase in pressure, which leads to expansion against the surroundings.


How much work in J is required to expand the volume of a pump from 0.0 to 2.7 against an external pressure of 1.2?

you will first use the equation W= -P delta V W= -1.2 (2.7-0) W= -3.24 but we must convert the J the current answer is in L. ATMs so therefore 101.3 J = 1L x ATM simply do the conversion and winn for gryffendor -330 J Two sig fig's

How does a balloon expand?

when you fill a balloon with air the air makes pressure. the air pressure maximizes the balloon fabric allowing the balloon to expand.
