How do I calculate the work done in a kinetic theory problem?

[QUOTE="TSny, post: 5998345, member: 229090"] The factor of 6 is not correct. Check this. Some things that might be helpful: (1)By what factor does V change? (2)By what factor does P change? Are these changes compatible with an adiabatic process of a monatomic ideal gas? I think that part (iii) of the question is poorly worded. All you are given is information about the initial and final states of the gas and the fact that the process was reversible. But between any two given states, there are infinitely many reversible processes that can take the system between the two states. These processes will generally differ in the amount of work done and the amount of heat transferred. I suspect that you are meant to show that it is [I]possible[/I] for the process to be adiabatic. But there is not enough information to conclude that the process must have been adiabatic. [/QUOTE]
