A gas expands against a variable pressure given by P=V atmP = V\,\text{atm}, where VV is the volume of the gas at each stage of expansion. During expansion from volume 10 L10\,\text{L} to 100 L100\,\text{L}, the gas undergoes a change in internal energy of 420 J420\,\text{J}. How much heat is absorbed by the gas during expansion?
