A gas is contained in a piston of 5 m3 at 100 KPa. Then the gas is compressed till its volume is reduced to 2.5 m3. If there was no exchange of heat from the system during the compression process, calculate the work required for the compression and the final pressure of the gas. Note that the specific heat ratio of the gas is 1.4.
