Question
An ideal gas expands at a constant pressure of 6.00 × 105 Pa from a volume of 1.00 m3 to a volume of 4.00 m and then is compressed to one-third that pressure and a volume of 2.50 m3 as shown in Figure P12.30 before returning to its initial state. How much work is done in taking a gas through one cycle of the process shown in the figure?
