8. An ideal gas initially at temperature T? = 24 °C and pressure p? = 185 kPa has a volume V? = 4.15 L. It undergoes an isothermal expansion until its pressure is reduced to p? = 93.5 kPa (a) Calculate the work done by the ideal gas. Give your answer in SI units. (b) Calculate the amount of heat added to the gas during the expansion.

In an adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas initially at $280 \mathrm{K}, 2.2 \mathrm{L}$ and $4.8 \mathrm{atm},$ an amount of work of $350.0 \mathrm{J}$, is done by the gas. Find the final temperature of the gas.

An ideal gas with γ = 1.40 occupies 8.26 L at 335 K and 79.2 kPa pressure. It's compressed adiabatically to one-third of its original volume, then cooled at constant volume back to 335K. Finally, it's allowed to expand isothermally to its original volume. How much work is done on the gas? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
