The gas cylinder in FIGURE Q19.11 is well insulated on all sides. The piston can slide without friction. Many small masses on top of the piston are removed one by one until the total mass is reduced by 50%. a. During this process, are (i) $\Delta T$, (ii) $W$, and (iii) $Q$ greater than, less than, or equal to zero? Explain. b. Draw a $pV$ diagram showing the process.
