Explanation The process shown in the P-V diagram is with pressure and volume changing, none of them is constant. Let’s remember that the work done on the gas is the area under the trajectory curve, as the figure is a trapezium we can easily know the work on the gas. We have that the area of the trapezium equals the work on the gas: W = − A t r a p e z i u m . W = − ( B + b ) H 2 . Where B and b are the bases and H the height. So we need to find the values of B, b and H in order to know the area. H is the difference in volumes between point f and point i: H = V f − V i . P i is the pressure at point i and the pressure at point f is P f . Then the work on the gas follows the expression: W = − ( P i + P f ) ( V f − V i ) 2 . But we know the relation between the volumes: Then the work: W = − ( P i + P f ) ( − 2 V 1 ) 2 = ( P i + P f ) V 1 . e want to know V 1 so from the before equation we have: V 1 = W ( P i + P f )
