Consider the following four-process cycle that is carried out on a system of monatomic ideal gas, starting from state 1 in which the pressure is 88.0 kPa and the volume is 3.00 liters.
Process A is an isothermal process that triples the
volume;
process B is a constant volume process that returns the system to a
pressure of 88.0 kPa;
process C is an isothermal process that returns the system to a
volume of 3.00 liters;
and process D is a constant volume process that returns the system
to state 1.
You should sketch a P-V diagram for this
cycle, to help you understand it.
Complete the table below. For each process, and the entire cycle,
find the heat added to the gas, the work done by the gas, and the
change in internal energy.
