For an isothermal compression of a gas, is it more efficient to compress in a single step or an infinite number of steps? Why? (2-3 sentences or a sketch on a PV curve or a quick calculation will do).   2. If you have 1.0 moles of Ne atoms at 2atm and 315K and you want to heat it to 375K, would the process exchange more heat if it is done isochorically or if it is done isobarically? Justify your answer.   3. For the process you selected in number two, calculate the work, heat, enthalpy change and internal energy change for your process
