Consider a piston (or box) pressurized with air. Suppose you compress the piston so that the final volume is half the starting volume but the temperature remains the same. For a reversible process, i) would the work done on the system be the same or change whether you modeled the gas ideal or real? ii) For an irreversible process, would the work done on the system be the same or change whether you modeled the gas as ideal or real assumng that you applied the same external force for compression? Explain your answer.
