The initial state of a certain gas is `(p_(i),V_(i),T_(i))`. It undergoes explansion till its volume becomes `V_(f)`. Consider the following two cases
(a) the expansion takes place at constant temperature.
(b) the expansion takes place at constant pressure.
Plot the `p-V` diagram for each case. In which of the two cases, is the work done by the gas more ?

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two cases of gas expansion, one at constant temperature (isothermal process) and the other at constant pressure (isobaric process). We will also plot the p-V diagram for both cases and determine in which case the work done by the gas is greater. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Initial and Final States**: - Initial state: \( (p_i, V_i, T_i) \) - Final state: \( (p_f, V_f) \) where \( V_f > V_i \) ...
