Physics

Suppose 1.0 mol of an ideal gas is initially at P=4.0atm and T=400 K. It is expanded irreversibly and adiabaticallyagainst a constant pressure of 1.0 atm until the volume hasdoubled.
(a) Calculate the final volume of the gas.
(b) Calculate w, q, and energy change ΔU of this process, injoules.
(c) Calculate the final temperature of the gas.
(d) Calculate the entropy change ΔS of the ideal gas in theprocess.
(e) What is the entropy change of the surroundings, ΔS_surr, duringthis process? Does the results in (c) and (d) in combinationsatisfy the second law of thermodynamics? Explain
