Which equation would one use? To be more specific, I'm trying to figure out how much work. Assumptions: Both chambers are equal volume. Gas = Nitrogen (or some ideal gas) They both start out at P0 = 2 atm pressure. They both start out at T0 = 300K --- From there, we compress from "a" to...

Perhaps I have some mental block with basic algebra (so don't judge me on that), but... Here is a simple high-school level question regarding ideal gas laws: If I have two fixed chambers "a" and "b", both of equal volume connected in the middle with a compressor, and I compress gas taken...
