Question

A system consisting of 0.0538 moles of a diatomic ideal gas is taken from state A to state C along the path in the figure below.

A pressure-volume graph is plotted on a coordinate plane, where the horizontal axis is V (L), and the vertical axis is P (atm). The path consists of two line segments:
  • a segment from point A (2,0.300) to point B (2,0.800)
  • a segment from point B (2,0.800) to point C (8,0.500)
Arrows along the path are aligned such that their tails are closer to point A than are their tips.
(a) How much work is done on the gas during this process?
  J

(b) What is the lowest temperature of the gas during this process?
  K

Where does it occur?
