Question:

Sketch a PV diagram and find the work done by the gas during the following stages. (a) A gas is expanded from a volume of 1.0 L to 4.0 L at a constant pressure of 4.0 atm. X Your response is off by a multiple of ten. J (b) The gas is then cooled at

Sketch a PV diagram and find the work done by the gas during the following stages. (a) A gas is expanded from a volume of 1.0 L to 4.0 L at a constant pressure of 4.0 atm. (b) The gas is then cooled at constant volume until the pressure falls to 1.0 atm. (c) The gas is then compressed at a constant pressure of 1.0 atm from a volume of 4.0 L to 1.0 L. (Note: Be careful of signs.) (d) The gas is heated until its pressure increases from 1.0 atm to 4.0 atm at a constant volume. (e) Find the net work done during the complete cycle, Sketch a PV diagram of the process outlined in parts (a)-(d).
