In your opinion why are sources more valued than others?

it's science

Agas expands from an initial volume of 0.040 m^3 and an initial pressure of 210 kpa to a final volume of 0.065 m^3 while its temperature is kept constant. how much work is done by the system?

Asheet of steel 1.5 mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at 1200oc and is permitted to achieve a steady-state diffusion condition. the diffusion coefficient for nitrogen in steel at this temperature is 6 x 10- 11 m2 /s, and the diffusion flux is found to be 1.2 x 10-7 kg/m2 -s. also, it is known that the concentration of nitrogen in the steel at the high-pressure surface is 4 kg/m3 . how far into the sheet from this high-pressure side will the concentration be 2.0 kg/m3 ? assume a linear concentration profile.

This is for my 8th grade science class, i really don’t understand. can someone me? , lol.
