A three-step cycle is undergone reversibly by 4.00 mol of an ideal gas: (1) an adiabatic expansion

Question:

A three-step cycle is undergone reversibly by 4.00 mol of an ideal gas: (1) an adiabatic expansion that gives the gas 2.00 times its initial volume, (2) a constant-volume process, (3) an isothermal compression back to the initial state of the gas. We do not know whether the gas is monatomic or diatomic; if it is diatomic, we do not know whether the molecules are rotating or oscillating. What are the entropy changes for?

(a) The cycle,

(b) Process 1,

(c) Process 3, and

(d) Process 2?
