When gas expands in a cylinder with radius r, the pressure
at any given time is a function of the volume: P = P(V).
The force exerted by the gas on the piston (see the figure) is
the product of the pressure and the area: F = mr*P. Show
that the work done by the gas when the volume expands
from volume V, to volume Vz is

Provide an equation of state (relating pressure, volume and temperature) for a real gas and interpret the terms that take into account the differences between a real and ideal gas. Comment on the extreme limits (example:zero temperature). Under what conditions does the behavior of real gases conform to the behavior expected to ideal gases?
An ideal gas confined to a box exerts pressure on the walls of the box. Where does this
pressure come from? (in other words, what is going on microscopically?)
