A sample of an ideal gas in a cylinder of volume 2.90 L at 928K and 2.89 atm expands to 8.46 L by two different pathways. Path A is an isothermal, reversible expansion. Path B has two steps. In the first step, the gas is cooled at constant volume to 1.05 atm. In the second step, the gas is heated and allowed to expand against a constant external pressure of 1.05 atm until the final volume is 8.46 L. Calculate the work for Path A and the work for path B
