When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV to the power of 1.4 = C where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 480 cubic centimeters and the pressure is 75 kPa and is decreasing at a rate of 10 kPa/minute. At what rate in cubic centimeters per minute is the volume increasing at this instant?

Two moles of a monatomic ideal gas at (5 MPa, 5 L) is expanded isothermally until the volume is doubled (step 1). Then it is cooled isochorically until the pressure is 1 MPa (step 2). The temperature drops in this process. The gas is now compressed isothermally until its volume is back to 5 L, but its pressure is now 2 MPa (step 3). Finally, the gas is heated isochorically to return to the initial state (step 4). (a) Draw the four pi-cresses in the pV plane. (b) Find the total work done by the gas.
