The pressure volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated by using the expression `w=-int_(V_(i))^(v_(f))Pex dV`. The work can also be calculated from the pV-plot by using the area under the curve within the specified limits. When an ideal gas is compressed (a) reversibly or (B) irreversibly from volume `V_(i)` to `V_(f)` choose the correct option..
