Constant heat capacity for quasi-static adiabatic expansions


Solve the following problem:

Prove that the work done by an ideal gas with constant heat capacities during a quasi-static adiabatic expansion is equal to:

a. W = -Cv(Ti-Tf)

b. W =PfVf - PiVi/γ-1

c. W = PfVf/γ-1[1 - (Pi/Pf)(γ-1)/γ ]

Make sure you use enough details to support your answer.
