Consider an ideal gas whose molecules each have five

Question

Consider an ideal gas whose molecules each have five degrees of freedom. It starts out at pressure and volume p₁, V₁, is isothermally expanded to volume V₂, and then adiabatically expanded further, to volume V₃. In terms of p₁, V_l , V₂, and h, find the following:

(a) the total work done by the gas during the expansion,

(b) the final pressure, p₃. (If necessary refer to the previous two problems.)
