Question

A gas increases in pressure from 2.00 atm to 6.00 atm at a constant volume of 1.00 m3 and then expands at constant pressure to a volume of 3.00 m3 before returning to its initial state as shown in the figure below. How much work is done in one cycle?
 kJ

A triangular path is plotted on a P V diagram that has a horizontal axis labeled V (m3), and a vertical axis labeled P (atm). The path is clockwise and runs through corner points in the following order:
  • (1.00, 2.00), 
  • (1.00, 6.00), 
  • (3.00, 6.00).
