Problem 10:  In an adiabatic process oxygen gas in a container is compressed along a path that can be described by the following pressure p, in atm, as a function of volume V, in liters:p = p0 V-6/5.Here p0 is a constant of units atm⋅L6/5.  Part (a)  Write an expression for the work W done on the gas when the gas is compressed from a volume Vi to a volume Vf.  Part (b)  The initial and final volumes during the process were Vi = 5 L and Vf = (Vi/2) L, respectively. If p0 = 3.5 atm⋅L6/5, find the amount of work done on the gas, in joules.
The volume of a monatomic ideal gas doubles in an adiabatic expansion. By what factor do (a) the pressure
