gas taken through the cycle a → b → c.
(a) Calculate the highest temperature reached by the gas during the cycle (4)
(b) What net work does the gas do during the cycle? (4)
(c) How much heat is exchanged with the gas during part bc of the cycle? Does it enter or
leave the gas? (4)
(d) What is the change in the internal (thermal) energy of the gas during part bc of the(4)
cycle?
(e) What is the change in the internal (thermal) energy of the gas during the entire cycle?
