Work Done by a Gas: An expansion process on an ideal diatomic ideal gas has a linear path between the initial and final coordinates on a pV diagram. The coordinates of the initial state are: the pressure is 300 kPa, the volume is 0.0700 m3, and the temperature is 390 K. The final pressure is 130 kPa and the final temperature is 310 K. How much work is done by the gas during this process? (R = 8.31 J/mol ? K)
