One mol of an ideal gas initially at 10 atm and 300 K is allowed to expand isothermally to 1.0 atm but not in a single process, rather in a combination of two processes as described below:(a) Expansion against 5.0 atm to 5.0 atm, followed by (b) Reversible expansion to 1.0 atm. Determine the net work and describe the process on a p-V graph
