The question is as follows:
An ideal diatomic gas for which cv = (3/5)*R, where R is the ideal gas constant, and occupies a volume V= 2 meters^3, at a Pressure Pi= 5 atm and temperature Ti = 20 degrees Celcius (= 293 K). The gas is compressed to a final pressure of Pf = 12 atm. Calculate the final volume Vf, the final temperature Tf, the work done dW, the heat transferred dQ, and the change in Internal energy dU for the following:
a). a reversible isothermal compression
b). a reversible adiabatic compression
i know in the adiabatic process, dQ = 0, and in the isothermal dT = 0. Where do i take it from here?
