An unknown gas (i.e., cannot be treated as an ideal gas) is contained in a well-sealed piston-cylinder device. The piston can be considered effectively massless. There is a spring on the backside of the piston that changes the force exerted on the piston as the gas volume changes. The spring is initially uncompressed and under mechanical equilibrium. The initial pressure of the gas is Po. Po An unknown gas (i.e., cannot be treated as an ideal gas) is contained in a well-sealed piston-cylinder device.
