Chapter 21, Problem 45PQ

Figure P21.45 shows a cyclic process ABCDA for 1.00 mol of an ideal gas. The gas is initially at P_i = 1.50 × 10⁵ Pa, V_i = 1.00 × 10⁻³ m³ (point A in Fig. P21.45). a. What is the net work done on the gas during the cycle? b. What is the net amount of energy added by heat to this gas during the cycle?
