Question

I'm having a little bit of difficulty with adiabatic reversible expansions...Concerning this extended problem how do I go about solving it?

Q:

Consider adiabatic reversible expansion of Neon gas under ideal conditions at 75 kPa. Calculate the expected final state pressure when the gas expands to 3/2 the volume of the initial state.

Moreover, consider adiabatic, reversible expansion of 0.10 mol of carbon dioxide behaving as an ideal gas. Calculate the work done by the gas when it expands to three times its initial state volume at 310 K.
