Suppose the temperature of a gas is 373.15 K when it is at the boiling point of water. What then is the limiting value of the ratio of the pressure of the gas at that boiling point to its pressure at the triple point of water? (Assume the volume of the gas is the same at both temperatures.)

Question
In Fig. IS-36, a gas sample Po expands from Vo to 4.0Vo while its A pressure decreases from Po to Po/4.0. If Vo = 1.0 m3 and Po = 40 ~ Pa, how much work is done by the v gas if its pressure changes with ~~ volume via (a) path A, (b) path B, _ ---,---- 1----- - ---- and (c) path C?
Solution
The first step in solving 18 problem number 43 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Fig. IS-36, a gas sample Po expands from Vo to 4.0Vo while its A pressure decreases from Po to Po/4.0. If Vo = 1.0 m3 and Po = 40 ~ Pa, how much work is done by the v gas if its pressure changes with ~~ volume via (a) path A, (b) path B, _ ---,---- 1----- - ---- and (c) path C?
From the textbook chapter Temperature, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
