Question
The PV diagram below represents a gas that expands from point I to point F along the three different possible paths. What is the work done on the gas along each of the following paths? (Enter your answers in J.)
Three paths are plotted on a PV diagram, which has a horizontal axis labeled V (liters), and a vertical axis labeled P (atm).
  • The green path starts at point I (3,6), extends vertically down to point B (3,2), then extends horizontally to point F (5,2).
  • The blue path starts at point I (3,6), and extends down and to the right to end at point F (5,2).
  • The orange path starts at point I (3,6), extends horizontally to the right to point A (5,6), then extends vertically down to end at point F (5,2).
