Suppose we are dealing with an ideal gas contained in a cylinder equipped with a movable collection. The gas undergoes different types of thermodynamic transformations while interacting with the environment. Let us consider that the gas undergoes a series of transformations under different conditions of pressure and volume. For all exercises, use the general gas law PV=nRT to perform the calculations and remember to indicate the units correctly. Exercise 1 - Isothermal Transformation: During an isothermal transformation of an ideal gas, where the temperature T is held constant, the initial pressure of the gas is approximately 1250 Pa, and its final pressure is approximately 630 Pa. For ideal gases R is 0.082 atm.L/mol. K, and the temperature T is 300 K, calculate the initial and final volumes (Vi and Vf) at which the gas is during this isothermal transformation. Remember that 1 atm=101325 Pa Please make it typeable, as handwriting hinders understanding.

For initial pressure P1 and final pressure P2 also denote initial volume by V1 and final volume V2. Hence for isothermal process
P1.V1=nRT
P2.V2=nRT
Hence we have
V1=nRT/P1
V2=nRT/P2
For n=1 mol and R= 8.31J/mol.K
