Since you mentioned that I'd get different results if I used temp and mass, I did the calculations again using those numbers and got the right answer! Then I went back and tried to figure out what I was doing wrong above W_2→3 =-p_2V_2 ln(\frac {V_3} {V_2})=-5.41*.001*ln(\frac {.005} {.001}) =...

Thanks for the welcome Serena! I've lurked for a long time and finally decided to ask a question of my own! Well, it's good to know my calculations are right and I'm not at all surprised to find out that my units are messing me up. I'm bollocks with units! I've been trying to get better about...

Homework Statement The figure shows a thermodynamic process followed by 130 mg of helium. How much work is done on the gas during each of the three segments? p_1 = 1.08 atm, p_2 = 5.41 atm, p_3=1.08 atm T_1=133 C, T_2=T_3=1760 C V_1=V_2=1000 cm^3, V_3=5000 cm^3 These are answers...
