The First Law of Thermodynamics problem 41


A fixed mass of an ideal gas undergoes a cycle PQRP of changes as shown in the figure below.




  • State the change in internal energy of the gas during one complete cycle PQRP.


  • Calculate the work done on the gas during the change from P to Q.


  • Some energy changes during the cycle PQRP are shown in the figure below.




    Complete the table to show all of the energy changes.
