3.6 Exercise 27

In an adiabatic process, oxygen gas in a container is compressed along a path that can be described by the following pressure in atm as a function of volume V, with $V_{0} = 1 L$: $p = \left(3.0 \text{atm}\right) \left(\right. V / V_{0} \left.\right)^{−1.2}$. The initial and final volumes during the process were 2 L and 1.5 L, respectively. Find the amount of work done on the gas.
