During the isothermal compression of a gas, pressure and volume follow the equation

The work

required to compress the gas is given by the integral:

Where

is the pressure of the gas in (Pa) and

is the initial volume and

is the final volume. Determine the work required to isothermally compress air from a pressure of

and a volume of

to a pressure of

.
