Define single step irreversible expansion against a constant

Reference no: EM13150573

2.00 mol of an ideal gas undergoes isothermal expansion along three different paths: (1). reversible expansion from Pinitial=25.0 bar and Vinitial=4.50L to Pfinal=4.50 bar, (2) a single step irreversible expansion against a constant external pressure of 4.50 bar and (3) a two step irreversible expansion consisting initially of an expansion against a constant external pressure of 11.0 bar until P=Pexternal, followed by an expansion against a constant external pressure of 4.50 bar until P=Pexternal. Calculate the work for each of these processes. For which of the irreversible processes is the magnitude of the work greater?
