1.

Derive for work done of the following conditions

a) an ideal gas is subjected to expand isothermally and reversibly from Vi to Vf at
temperature T.
b) an ideal gas is expanded irreversibly at constant temperature T from Vi to Vf
c) a real gas ( you can choose any equation state) is expanded isothermally from Vi
to Vf at temperature T.

2.

A monoatomic gas (assumed ideal) initially at 298 K and 2 atm is expanded to a final
pressure of 1 atm,
(a) Isothermally and reversibly
(b) Isothermally against a constant pressure of 1 atm
(c) Adiabatically and reversibly
(d) Adiabatically against a constant pressure of 1 atm
Calculate final temperature, U, q and w for each of the expansions.
