An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process from point A to point B to C to point D and back to point A as shown in Figure below. The gas begins at a volume of 1.00 L and a pressure of 2.00 atm and expands at constant pressure until the volume is 2.50 L, after which it is cooled at constant volume until its pressure is 1.00 atm. It is then compressed at constant pressure until its volume is again 1.00 L, after which it is heated at constant volume until it is back in its original state. Find a) the work done on the gas from A to B is... b) the work done on the gas from B to C c) the work done on the gas from C to D d) the work done on the gas from D to A e) the total work done is.... f) the total heat transfer during the entire cycle is
