Expanding ideal gas
Not what you're looking for?
A sample of ideal gas is expanded to twice it original volume of 1.00m^3 in a quasi-static process for which P = alpha*V^2, with alpha = 5.00atm/m^6. How much work is done on the expanded gas?
I know that work is the integral of - PdV but I can't seem to get the right answer. Can you help?
