A sample of gas in a cylinder of volume 3.42 L at 298 K and 2.57 atm

Question:

A sample of gas in a cylinder of volume 3.42 L at 298 K and 2.57 atm expands to 7.39 L by two different pathways. Path A is an isothermal, reversible expansion. Path B has two steps. In the first step, the gas is cooled at constant volume to 1.19 atm. In the second step, the gas is heated and allowed to expand against a constant external pressure of 1.19 atm until the final volume is 7.39 L.

Calculate the work for each path.
