The work involved w in an isothermal expansion of n moles of an ideal gas from an initial pressure of P atm to final pressure of 1 atm in number of steps such that in every step the constant external pressure exactly 1 atm less than the initial pressure of gas is maintained is given as a nRT i P 1 i P b nRT P 1 1 i 1 P 1 i i P 1 1 c nRT i
