Look at the P-V diagram below (Diagram 1). Calculate the work done by the gas for the paths A, B and C. Assume that in Diagram 1, P1 = 1 atm, P2 = 4 atm, V1 = 5 L, V2 = 15 L.

a) WA = 1013 J, WB = 0, WC = -2533 J

b) WA = 0.01 J, WB = 0, WC = -0.025 J    

c) WA = 2533 J, WB = 0, WC = -1013 J

Calculate the work done by the gas for the path AB in Diagram 2. Use the data: P1 = 1 atm, P2 = 4 atm, V1 = 5 L, V2 = 20 L. (Path AB is an "isothermal" which means the temperature T is constant on this path).

a) 0.012 J

b) 1220 J                          

c) 0.0278 J                     

d) 2809 J
