Boyle’s law:-

PV=C T=C

Where PV=C
So,
&W=PVln V 2 /V 1
PV= n Rn T
n=m/M

&W = RnT

So W=mRTln

This is the required equation of work done by isothermal process.
Work done in case of polytrophic process:-

Put the limit

W.D = C

mR (T 2−T 1 )

This is the required work done in case of polytropic process
 Volume is a state function so it will remain same in both process but the work is
not a state function it will be different in both cases temperature will same in
isothermal process but different polytropic process.
