Question

2.00-mol of a monatomic ideal gas goes from State A to State D via the path A→B→C→D:

 

State A PA=13.5atm, VA=14.00L
State B PB=13.5atm, VB=5.50L
State C PC=24.5atm, VC=5.50L
State D PD=24.5atm, VD=22.50L

Assume that the external pressure is constant during each step and equals the final pressure of the gas for that step.

A) Calculate q for this process.

B) Calculate w for this process.
