Question: Using 310K for temperature and V1= 3L, V2= 6L a) Find the work in Joules done in an expansion from your lower to your higher

Using 310K for temperature and V1= 3L, V2= 6L

a) Find the work in Joules done in an expansion from your lower to your higher volume, for the following three paths: one-step, two steps, reversibly.

b) Find the work in Joules required for a compression from your higher to your lower volume, for the following three paths: one-step, two steps, reversibly.

c) Comment on the magnitude of work in the expansion and in the compression. Which path results in the most work done by the system? Which path requires the least work for compression?
