Expert Solution
Part A:

Area enclosed by the cycle in P-V coordinates gives the net work interaction for the gas.

If the cycle is a clockwise cycle , net work is done by the gas.

If the cycle is a counterclockwise cycle , net work is done on the gas.

Here the cycle is clockwise ,so net work is done by the gas.

Net work done by the gas =Area enclosed by the cycle

Area Enclosed by the cycle = Area of the square formed by ABCD Area Enclosed by the cycle =(nPi-Pi)(nVi-Vi) = (n-1)2(PiVi) = (3.1-1)2PiVi=4.41PiVi         ---- Equation (1)From ideal gas equation , we have ,PiVi=nRTigiven initial temperature Ti = 00C = 273 KPiVi =1.2×8.314×273 = 2723.6664 From Equation (1)Area Enclosed by the cycle =4.41PiVi =4.41×2723.6664 = 12011.36Net work done by the gas = 12011.36 J = 12.011 kJ

Since the question to find the net work done on the gas per cycle it will have opposite sign.

Therefore , net work done on the gas = -12.011kJ
