Problem

Starting with the same initial conditions, an ideal gas expands from volume

V_1

V_2

in three different ways. The work done by the gas is

W_1

for a purely isothermal process,

W_2

for a purely isobaric process, and

W_3

for a purely adiabatic process. Then (1)

W_2>W_1>W_3

(2)

W_2>W_3>W_1

(3)

W_1>W_2>W_3

(4)

W_1>W_3>W_2
