A gas with a specific heat of 9.2 cal/mol C is compressed from 25C and 1

Question:

A gas with a specific heat of 9.2 cal/mol · °C is compressed from 25°C and 1 atm to 8 atm in a single-stage adiabatic compressor that is 75 percent efficient. 

(a) What is the work done per mole of gas? 

(b) If a two-stage compressor is used with intercooling to 20°C, how does the total work compare with that for single-stage compression?
