To calculate the work involved in a chemical reaction, we can use the formula:

Work = -PΔV

Where:
- P is the constant pressure
- ΔV is the change in volume

Given:
P = 0.875 atm
ΔV = 1.03 L - 4.7 L = -3.67 L (since the volume is decreasing)

Let's plug in the values:

Work = -0.875 atm * (-3.67 L)
Work = 3.20875 atm * L

Therefore, the work involved in the chemical reaction is 3.20875 atm * L.
