Let the given reactions be: (1) 2Fe(s) + (3)/(2)O2(g) arrow Fe₂O3(s), Δ H₁ = -822 kJ/mol$2\mathrm{Fe}_{(s)} + \frac{3}{2}\mathrm{O}_{2(g)} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}_2\mathrm{O}_{3(s)}, \quad \Delta H_1 = -822 \, \mathrm{kJ/mol}$ (2) C(s) + (1)/(2)O2(g) arrow CO(g), Δ H₂ = -110 kJ/mol$\mathrm{C}_{(s)} + \frac{1}{2}\mathrm{O}_{2(g)} \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{(g)}, \quad \Delta H_2 = -110 \, \mathrm{kJ/mol}$

Target Reaction (3):

To construct the target reaction:

• We need 3 CO(g)$3 \mathrm{CO}_{(g)}$ on the product side, so we multiply reaction (2) by 3.
• We need Fe₂O3(s)$\mathrm{Fe}_2\mathrm{O}_{3(s)}$ on the reactant side and 2 Fe(s)$2 \mathrm{Fe}_{(s)}$ on the product side, so we reverse reaction (1).

Step 1: Calculate Net Enthalpy

Target Reaction (3) = 3 × (2) - (1)$3 \times (2) - (1)$

The work done in a cyclic process is equal to the magnitude of the area enclosed by the cycle on a Pressure-Volume graph. Note that the provided graph is Volume (V$V$) on the y-axis versus Pressure (P$P$) on the x-axis. The path A arrow B arrow C arrow A$A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \rightarrow A$ is traced in a clockwise direction on the V$V$-P$P$ graph. Clockwise on a V$V$-P$P$ graph corresponds to anti-clockwise on a standard P$P$-V$V$ graph, meaning net expansion work is done by the gas, making it positive conventionally (or negative depending on chemistry sign convention, but magnitude is asked for).

Step 1: Calculating Area

The enclosed region is a right-angled triangle. Base of triangle on P-axis = 30 - 10 = 20 kPa$30 - 10 = 20 \text{ kPa}$ Height of triangle on V-axis = 30 - 10 = 20 dm³$30 - 10 = 20 \text{ dm}^3$

Step 2: Unit conversion

1 kPa = 10³ Pa$1 \text{ kPa} = 10^3 \text{ Pa}$ 1 dm³ = 1 Litre = 10⁻³ m³$1 \text{ dm}^3 = 1 \text{ Litre} = 10^{-3} \text{ m}^3$

Pattern Recognition

1 kPa · 1 L = 1 Joule$1 \text{ kPa} \cdot 1 \text{ L} = 1 \text{ Joule}$. This direct conversion saves time without converting explicitly to standard SI units (Pa$Pa$ and m³$m^3$).

For an isothermal and reversible expansion of an ideal gas, work is done by the system on the surroundings, hence it is negative by IUPAC convention. Given: n = 5 moles$n = 5\text{ moles}$ R = 8.314 J K⁻¹mol⁻¹$R = 8.314\text{ J K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}$ T = 300 K$T = 300\text{ K}$ V₁ = 10 L$V_1 = 10\text{ L}$ V₂ = 100 L$V_2 = 100\text{ L}$

Step 1: Calculating Work Done

Step 2: Final Formatting

The question asks for work w = -x J$w = -x\text{ J}$. So x = 28720.713$x = 28720.713$, which rounds to 28721$28721$.
