If the boundary of system moves by an infinitesimal amount, the work involved is given by `dw=-P_("ext")dV`
for irreversible process `w=-P_("ext")DeltaV " "( "where "DeltaV=V_(f)-V_(i))`
for reversible process `P_("ext")=P_("int")pmdP~=P_("int")`
so for reversible isothermal process `w = -nRTln.(V_(f))/(V_(i))`
2mole of an ideal gas undergoes isothermal compression along three different plaths :
(i) reversible compression from `P_(i)=2` bar and `V_(i) = 8L` to `P_(f) = 20` bar
(ii) a single stage compression against a constant external pressure of 20 bar, and
(iii) a two stage compression consisting initially of compression against a constant external pressure of 10 bar until `P_("gas")=P_("ext")`, followed by compression against a constant pressure of 20 bar until `P_("gas") = P_("ext")`

Two moles of an ideal gas undergo the following process : (a) a reversible isobaric expansion from ( P atm, V L) to ( P atm , 2V L) . (b) a reversible isochoric change of state from ( P atm , 2V,L) to (P//2 atm, 2V L) (c ) a reversible isothermal compression from (P//2 atm, 2V L) to (P atm, V L) .

A sample of ideal gas undergoes isothermal expansion in a reversible manner from volume V_(1) to volume V_(2) . The initial pressure is P_(1) and the final pressure is P_(2) . The same sample is then allowed to undergoes reversible expansion under adiabatic conditions from volume V_(1) to V_(2) . The initial pressure being same but final pressure is P_(2) . If P_(3) and P_(2) are equal, then
