Question: A 2 . 4 2 . 4 - mole sample of a monatomic ideal gas with an initial volume of V 0 = 5 .

A 2.42.4-mole sample of a monatomic ideal gas with an initial volume of V0=5.75LV0=5.75L and initial pressure of p0=4.5MPap0=4.5MPa undergoes a complete cycle as follows.
Step 1: The gas expands isothermally until its volume doubles.
Step 2: The gas undergoes isochoric cooling as its pressure is reduced to p0/5p0/5.
Step 3: The gas is compressed in an isothermal process until its volume is back to volume V0V0, and its pressure is 2p0/52p0/5.
Step 4: The gas temperature increases as it goes through an isochoric process which returns it to pressure p0p0 and volume V0V0.
