Constants in this formula

Check value

Round inputs run through this page's calculator, with each constant at its tabulated value. Use it to test your own working or a rearranged form. It is a test case, not a real-world example.

• n = 2 mol (Moles)
• R = 8.314 462 618… J/(mol·K) (Gas constant)
• T = 3 K (Temperature)
• V_f = 4 m³ (Final volume)
• V_i = 5 m³ (Initial volume)

Result: W = -11.131912 J
