One mole of an ideal gas with C P = (5/2)R and C V = (3/2)R expands

Question:

One mole of an ideal gas with CP = (5/2)R and CV = (3/2)R expands from P1 = 6 bar and T1 = 800 K to P2 = 1 bar by each of the following paths:
(a) Constant volume
(b) Constant temperature
(c) Adiabatically
Assuming mechanical reversibility, calculate W, Q, ΔU, and ΔH for each process. Sketch each path on a single PV diagram.
