Solution.
If temperature is constant, than work:
a)
b)
c)
When expanding, the gas performs positive work. And when compressed, the gas performs negative work. Therefore, in both cases, the modulo operation is the same, but it differs in sign.
Answer:
a)
A = 15942.3 J
b)
A = - 15942.3 J
c)
When expanding, the gas performs positive work. And when compressed, the gas performs negative work. Therefore, in both cases, the modulo operation is the same, but it differs in sign.
