A closed piston-cylinder system consists of 3.0 moles of monatomic gas, initially at temperature 120K and pressure 0.75 atm (call this initial state A). It undergoes the following reversible cyclic process: A – B: Isothermal compression to one-third its initial volume B – C: Adiabatic expansion back to its original pressure. C- A: Isobaric (constant-pressure) expansion back to state A a. Determine the initial volume of the gas (point A). b. Determine the pressure of the gas at point B.
