Calculate the work done by adiabatic compression of one mole of an ideal gas (monoatomic) from an initial pressure of 1 atm to final pressure of 2 atm. Initial temperature =300 K.
(a) If the process is carried out reversibly
(b) If the process is carried out irreversible against 2 atm external pressure.
Compute the final volume reached by gas in two cases and describe the work graphically .
