polytropic

How do I start this problem please?


A closed cylinder contains 40 ml of gas at 800 kPa. The gas expands to a volume of

400 ml according to the relationship pV1.1 = constant. If the heat transfer from the gas to the

surroundings is 300 J, calculate the change in internal energy of the gas during the expansion

process.


Do I use W = P(V2-V1)^1.1 ?


Thanks
