Question
Consider 2.00 moles of an ideal gas that are taken from state A (PA = 2.00 atm, vA = 10.0 L) to state B (PB = 1.00 attn, VB = 30.0 L) by two different pathways:
These pathways are summarized on the following graph of P versus V:
Calculate the work (in units of J) associated with two pathways. Is work a state function? Explain.
