a) An ideal gas is taken through a quasi-static process described by P = αV², with α = 4.90 atm/m⁶, as shown in the figure. The gas is expanded to twice its original volume of 1.00 m³. How much work (in MJ) is done on the expanding gas in this process?

b) What If? How does the work done in part (a) compare to the lowest and highest possible amounts of work that can be done on this gas between the initial and final states if the pressure always remains between P_i and P_f, and the volume always remains between V_i and V_f? (Enter your answers as percentages of the work done in part (a).)

W_lowest/W_{part (a)} x 100% = ?

W_highest/W_{part (a)} x 100% = ?

1 Ideal Gas Law The ideal gas law is familiar to anyone who has taken a college chemistry course: P V = νRT. This problem will show you why the ideal gas law has this form. We can arrive at this expression just by using classical mechanics! Consider a box of volume V containing N particles, each having mass m, that are moving horizontally with average speed v. The particles bounce back and forth between the end walls of the...
