Homework Equations
Work done by an ideal gas, isothermal process: W=n*R*T*ln(V_f / V_i)
Work, constant-pressure process: W=p*(V_f - V_i)
The Attempt at a Solution
I first tried plugging n=1, R=8.31, T=273.15, V_f=17.5 L, V_i=24 L into the first equation and it didn't work.
I then tried the constant-pressure formula with the corresponding values given from the problem (p=.937 atm, V_f=17.5 L, V_i=24 L) and it didn't work either.
This problem seems pretty straight forward but I can't get the right answer. Help?
