The Berthelot equation of state is: p = nRT/V - nb - n^2a/TV^2 where a and bare constants, Consider a reversible, isothermal expansion of a gas the Berthelot equation. In such a process, the temperature is constant (because the process is isothermal) and the external pressure can be considered to be equal to the pressure of the gas (because the process is reversible and occurs very slowly). Derive an expression for the work, w, done by the gas during a reversible, isothermal expansion from an initial volume of V_1 to a final volume of V_2.
