Halliday, Resnick & Walker — The Kinetic Theory of Gases: Problem 63

Figure 19.11 shows a cycle undergone by 1.00 mol of an ideal monatomic gas. The temperatures are \(T_1 = 300\) K, \(T_2 = 600\) K, and \(T_3 = 455\) K. For \(1 \rightarrow 2\), what are (a) heat \(Q\), (b) the change in internal energy \(\Delta E_{\text{int}}\), and (c) the work done \(W\)? For \(2 \rightarrow 3\), what are (d) \(Q\), (e) \(\Delta E_{\text{int}}\), and (f) \(W\)? For \(3 \rightarrow 1\), what are (g) \(Q\), (h) \(\Delta E_{\text{int}}\), and (i) \(W\)? For the full cycle, what are (j) \(Q\), (k) \(\Delta E_{\text{int}}\), and (l) \(W\)? The initial pressure at point 1 is 1.00 atm (\(= 1.013 \times 10^5\) Pa). What are the (m) volume and (n) pressure at point 2 and the (o) volume and (p) pressure at point 3?
