Work done by/on the gas is given by W= PdeltaV
D. I,II, and III----------- correct ans
I know that work is not a state function,but based on the formula, there is no need to determine the path of the gas. I guess if it were a graph-based q, I would need the path. Can anyone please shed some light.
Thanks
