An ideal gas described by Ti = 300 K, Pi = 1.00 bar, and Vi = 10.0L is heated at a constant volume until P = 10.0 bar. It then undergoes a reversible isothermal expansion until P = 1.00 bar. It is then restored to its original state by the extraction of heat at constant pressure. Calculate w for each step and for the total process. What values for w would you calculate if the cycle were traversed in the opposite direction?
Answer for step 1 = 0, answer for step 2 = -21.4 x 10 ^3 J, step 3 = 8.70 x 10 ^3J
cycle = -12.7 x 10 ^ 3 J
