7. An ideal gas initially at temperature To, pressure po, and volume Vo is compressed to one-half its initial volume.

As shown in ▼ Figure 12.22, it undergoes three processes always restarting at the same initial conditions:

is adiabatic, 2 is isothermal, and 3 is isobaric. Rank the work done on the gas and the final temperatures of the gas, from highest to lowest, for all three processes, and explain your reasoning for the rankings.
