One mole of an ideal gas is contained in a cylinder with a movable piston. The temperature is constant at 77°C. Weights are removed suddenly from the piston to give the following sequence of three pressures. a. P, = 4.60 atm (initial state) b. P₂ = 2.73 atm c. P3 1.00 atm (final state) What is the total work (in joules) in going from the initial to the final state by way of the preceding two steps? J What would be the total work if the process were carried out reversibly?
