An ideal gas is at an initial pressure of 3000 kPa and a volume of 7.00 L. The gas is expanded at constant pressure to a volume of 11.0 L. It is then cooled at constant volume until the temperature returns to its original value. Calculate the work done, the change in internal energy, and the heat flow into or out of the gas.
