An ideal gas (1.00 mol) is compressed in two stages (A and B) from an initial volume (V₁) of 10.0 L and initial temperature (7₁) of 300.0 K. For convenience the system states are (p₁, V₁, T₂₁) initially, (P2, V2, T2) after stage A, and (P3, V3, T3) after stage B. Answer the following questions about this process. (a)( The gas is first compressed using a pressure of 2.0 atm to volume of 8.0 L and then to 5.0 L using a pressure of 10.0 atm. For each stage, calculate the work (WA, WB).

Question

please help with part (a) 

An ideal gas (1.00 mol) is compressed in two stages (A and B) from an initial volume (V₁) of 10.0 L and initial
temperature (7₁) of 300.0 K. For convenience the system states are (p₁, V₁, T₁₂) initially, (P2, V2, T2) after stage A, and
(P3, V3, T3) after stage B. Answer the following questions about this process.
(a)( The gas is first compressed using a pressure of 2.0 atm to volume of 8.0 L and then to 5.0 L using a pressure
of 10.0 atm. For each stage, calculate the work (WA, WB).
