ANSWER:

Solution 22PIntroductionAt first, from the figure we have to find out what kind of process is this. Then using thecorresponding gas law we can calculate the initial and final temperature and final volume.Step 1(a) The PV diagram becomes hyperbola when the process is isothermal, that temperatureremains constant throughout the process. From the Boyle’s law we know that, for isothermicprocess, PV = constant, this is the equation of hyperbola. Hence the diagram represents theisothermal process.
