n = 9.95 moles of ideal gas are slowly heated from initial pressure Po = 93398.6 Pa and initial volume Vo = .679 m^3 to final pressure Pf = 117508 Pa and final volume Vf = 1.073 m^3. If the plot of this process on a P-V diagram is a straight line, find W, the work done on the system:
If the plot is a straight line then it is an isobaric process so W = nRTb (1 - Va/Vb)
Using n = PV/RT, Tb=1524.172269K
W = (9.95)(8.314)(1524.172269)(1 - .679/1.073) = 46.3 kJ
Can someone please advise why/how this is wrong??
