1. 1.0 x 10-3 moles of a monatomic ideal gas is contained in a cylinder of volume 10 cm3 at 240,000 Pa of pressure. Call this equilibrium state 1 (orange dot on diagram). The gas is put through the following processes (assume these processes follow straight lines on a PV diagram): 1→2: The volume of the container triples while the pressure in the gas doubles. 2→3: The volume of the container returns to its original volume while the pressure increases by a factor of 3/2 3→1: The gas returns from equilibrium state 3 to its original pressure and volume of equilibrium state 1

(a) Carefully draw this cycle, to scale, on the following PV diagram.
(b) Which of the processes, 1→2, 2→3, and 3→1 are named processes we have discussed this term (adiabatic, isothermal, isochoric, or isobaric)? Give the name(s) and explain your answers.
(c) Is this a
(d) Find the temperature of the gas at equilibrium state 1.
