A gas expands from an initial state A to a final state B. The expansion process consists of two stages. First the gas expands at constant pressure from 20 litres to 42 litres. Second the gas expands from 42 litres to 88 litres with a pressure drop according to the equation P = (100 - 0.8 V) kPa, where V is in litres. Calculate the work done on the gas. [Note that you need to calculate the initial pressure, which is not 100kPa.] a.-3889 J O b.-3669 J O c.-4199 J O d. -4039 J O e. 3539 J
