Write the first law of thermodynamics for an isothermal expansion process.

Two identical vessels $A$ and $B$ with frictionless pistons contain the same ideal gas at the same temperature and the same volume $V$. The masses of gas in $A$ and $B$ are $m_A$ and $m_B$,respectively. The gases are allowed to expand isothermally to the same final volume $2V$. The changes in pressures of the gas in $A$ and $B$ are found to be $\Delta P$ and $1.5 \Delta P$,respectively. Then

$A$ vertical cylinder with heat-conducting walls is closed at the bottom and is fitted with a smooth light piston. It contains one mole of an ideal gas. The temperature of the gas is always equal to the surrounding's temperature,$T_0$. The piston is moved up slowly to increase the volume of the gas to $\eta$ times.
