Consider an ideal gas that occupies 2.25 L at 1.33 bar. Calculate the work required to compress the gas isothermally to a volume of 1.50 L at a constant pressure of 2.00 bar followed by another isothermal compression to 0.800 L at a constant pressure of 3.75 bar. Compare your result with the work of compressing the gas isothermally and reversibly from 2.25 L to 0.80 L.
