    Moles of helium (n) = 156.7 / 4 = 39.175

    Temperature T₁ = 35.73 + 273 = 308.73 K

    Volume V₁ = V

    Pressure P₁ = 3.55 atm

    V₂ = 1.75 V

    a) For isothermal change

    P₁ V₁ = P₂V₂

    P₂ = P₁ V₁ / V₂

    = 3.55 X V / 1.75 V

    = 2.03 atm.

    b) Work done by the gas = nRT ln (V₂/V₁)

    = 39.175 X 8.321 X 308.73 X ln 1.75

    = 56318.8 J

    Work done on the gas = - 56318.8 J

    c) Since there is no change in temperature, internal energy of gas is constant

    Q = ΔE + W

    ΔE = 0

    Q = W

    Work done by gas = heat absorbed

    heat absorbed = 56318.8 J

    d) Change in the internal energy of gas is zero because temperature is constant.
