Two moles of ethane in a piston-cylinder assembly undergo a reversible adiabatic compression from the initial volume of 0.1 m² to the final volume of 0.002 m³. The initial pressure is 0.5 bar. Note that if ideal gas, the heat capacity of ethane is given by Cp = 1.131 + 1.9225 x 10-² T-5.561 x 10-6 T², where T is in K. Use the van der Waals equation of state to determine (1) the initial temperature in K (also compares the result with that calculated using the ideal gas law), (2) the final pressure in bar, (3) the final temperature in K, and (4) the work done during this process in J.
