Question: A heat engine with 0 . 1 0 0 molmol of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a 2 0 0 0 cm 3 cm

A heat engine with 0.100 molmol of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a 2000 cm3cm3 cylinder at 600 KK. The gas goes through the following closed cycle:
- Isothermal expansion to 6000 cm3cm3.
- Isochoric cooling to 400 KK.
- Isothermal compression to 2000 cm3cm3.
- Isochoric heating to 600 KK. How much work does this engine do per cycle?
Express your answer with the appropriate units. What is its thermal efficiency?
Express your answer as a percentage.
