**Topic: Thermodynamics - Ideal Gas Processes**---### 1. An ideal gas expands isothermally along AB and does 720 J of work (see below).#### Diagram Explanation:- A Pressure-Volume (p-V) diagram is shown with an ideal gas undergoing different processes.- The diagram depicts three distinct points: A, B, and C, forming a closed cycle.- The path from A to B is marked with an arrow indicating an isothermal expansion.- The path from B to C suggests an adiabatic expansion.- The path from C to A is a different thermodynamic process closing the cycle.---**Questions:****(a) How much heat does the gas exchange along AB? Is the heat absorbed by the gas or released to the surroundings?**\[ Q_{AB} = \_\_\_\_ \ (J) \]---**(b) The gas then expands adiabatically along BC and does 430 J of work. When the gas returns to A along CA, it exhausts 100 J of heat to its surroundings. How much work is done on the gas along the path CA?**\[ \text{Work done on gas from C to A} = \_\_\_\_ \ (J) \]---**(c) If the cycle below is used as a heat engine, calculate the efficiency of the cycle.**\[ e = \_\_\_\_ \]---_Note: Consider the relationships for different thermodynamic processes to calculate the required values. For an isothermal process, the heat absorbed by the gas is equal to the work done (Q = W). For the adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged (Q = 0). The net work done in the cycle can be used to find efficiency._---End of Educational Module
