The initial volume of an ideal gas is V_(1) and the initial pressure is P_(1)=6 atmosphere. It expands isothermally to a volume V_(2) and pressure P_(2)=3 atm , and then adiabatically to a volume V_(3) and pressure P_(3)=2 atm . Draw a rough sketch of these changes. Calculate the value of V_(2)//V_(1) and V_(3)//V_(2) . Take gamma= 1.4 .
