Question

A 0.25 mol of a monatomic ideal gas at 27 degrees C is contained in a cylinder that is fitted with a movable
friction free piston. The temperature of the gas is increased to 127degrees C while the pressure of 1 atm is
maintained. Calculate:
i. how much work is done by the gas in the process, 
ii. the change in internal energy of the gas, 
iii. heat that was supplied to the gas.
