Integrate it.asap.​

Answer»

<P>In thermodynamics, when we're interested at GASES, I know that the work done can be written to be −pdV for a reversible process (p is the pressure of the system, and V is the volume of the system).

This is because

dW=Fdx=−pAdx=−pd(Ax)=−pdV

However, why is it not true ALSO that the work done is −pdV for non-reversible PROCESSES as WELL?
