Calculate the amount of work done on a gas that undergoes a change of state described by the $p V$ diagram shown in $\underline{\text { Figure }} 15-21 .$
A sample of gas expands from $1.0$ to $5.0 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$ while its pressure decreases from 15 to $5.0 \mathrm{~Pa}$. How much work is done on the gas if its pressure changes with volume according to each of the three processes shown in the $p V$ diagram in Fig. $23-32 ?$
A fixed quantity of gas undergoes the reversible changes illustrated in the $p-V$ diagram in Fig. $12.22 .$ How much work is done in each process?
