1. Calculate the work done by 1 mole of ideal gas in expanding adiabatically from V_1 to V_2 (volumes). Make a qualitative figure of pressure changes as a function volume changes p=p(V).
I will be very grateful for solving this problem because I spent so much time on it and I still do not know how to do it.
Thank you in advance!

You should start by explaining what you have done.
When I read a problem like this, the first thing I notice are:
(1) Ideal Gas: this means internal energy depends only on temperature, and
(2) Adiabatic:
So ...
or
A little hint:
and:
I have some similar problems with solutions here:

Only V1 and V2 can not be calculated. It takes one of the largest state (p or T) at the beginning or end of relaxation.
