In the PV diagram shown in Figure B1, an ideal monatomic gas undergoes isothermal expansion from state W to state X, followed by cooling at constant volume to state Y. The gas then undergoes isobaric compression to state Z before it is heated until it returns to state W. P Vw = Vz=2 liters Pw = 10 atm Vx = Vy = 4 liters Tw = 327°C X Pz = 2 atm Y V Figure B1 (i) What is the internal energy of the gas at point X? [answer in SI unit joule] (ii) What is the pressure of the gas (in unit atm) when it is in state X?
