Chemical Thermodynamics 3.2 - Pressure-Volume Work

Short physical chemistry lecture on mechanical pressure-volume work.

When a gas expands against an external pressure, work is done on the surroundings, decreasing the internal energy. When a gas is compressed, work is done on the system, increasing the internal energy.
