Ideal Gas Law

Ideal gas law states that the product of pressure and volume of a gas directly varies with the product of the number of moles, the universal gas constant, and the temperature of the gas.

1. Two moles of helium gas are placed in a cylindrical container with a piston. The gas is at room temperature 27 °C and under a pressure of 3.3.105 Pa. When the pressure from the outside is decreased, while keeping the temperature the same as the room temperature, the volume of the gas doubles. Use that the gas constant R = 8.31 J/(mol K).

A 4.00 L sample of a diatomic ideal gas with specific heat ratio 1.40, confined to a cylinder, is carried through a closed cycle. The gas is initially at 35 atm and at 300 K. First, its pressure is tripled under constant volume. Then, it expands adiabatically to its original pressure. Finally, the gas is compressed isobarically to its original volume (see the figure). What was the net work done (in kJ) on the gas for this cycle? (Hint: clockwise cycle causes negative work done) (Answer no decimal)
