Hello!
To solve this problem you must follow the following steps, which are fully registered in the attached image.
1. Draw the complete outline of the problem.
2. Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)
through prior knowledge of two other properties.
3. Use temodynamic tables to find the density of water in state 1, by means of temperature and quality, with this value and volume we can find the mass.
3. Use thermodynamic tables to find the internal energy in state 1 and two using temperature and quality.
4. uses the first law of thermodynamics that states that the energy in a system is always conserved, replaces the previously found values and finds the work done.
5. draw the pV diagram using the 300F isothermal line

Answer:
Final mass of Argon= 2.46 kg
Explanation:
Initial mass of Argon gas ( M1 ) = 4 kg
P1 = 450 kPa
T1 = 30°C = 303 K
P2 = 200 kPa
k ( specific heat ratio of Argon ) = 1.667
assuming a reversible adiabatic process
<u>Calculate the value of the M2 </u>
Applying ideal gas equation ( PV = mRT )
P₁V / P₂V = m₁ RT₁ / m₂ RT₂
hence : m2 = P₂T₁ / P₁T₂ * m₁
= (200 * 303 ) / (450 * 219 ) * 4
= 2.46 kg
<em>Note: Calculation for T2 is attached below</em>
