assume you have nn moles of an ideal gas initially at a volume vv . along which process will the most work be done by the gas on its surroundings as it expands to a volume of 4 vv ? assume you have moles of an ideal gas initially at a volume . along which process will the most work be done by the gas on its surroundings as it expands to a volume of 4 ? an isothermal expansion an adiabatic expansion an isobaric expansion the work done by the gas is the same for all three processes.
