Below is a PV diagram showing a cyclic process for 0.0040 moles of an ideal monatomic gas. The direction of the cycle is shown by the arrows on the curve. The temperature does NOT change along segment ac - the process is isothermal from point a to point c . The other 2 sections of curve are graphically vertical and horizontal.
(a) What volume does the gas occupy at point a?
(b) What is the temperature at points a,b and c?
For parts (c),(d) and (e) below, indicate whether the heat Q has gone into or out of the gas by referring to the sign, positive or negative, of your answer.
(c) How much heat went into or out of the gas during segment ba?
(d) How much heat went into or out of the gas during segment cb?
(e) How much heat went into or out of the gas during segment ac?
For parts ( f ),(g) and ( h ) below, indicate whether the change in internal energy Eint=U is positive or negative by referring to the sign of your answer.
(f) Find the change in internal energy U during segment ba.
(g) Find the change in internal energy U during segment cb .
(h) Find the change in internal energy U during segment ac.
