Question

A perfect gas (0.1 mol) having  (independent of temperature) undergoes the above transformation from point 1 to point 4. If each step is reversible, the total work done (w) while going from point 1 to point 4 is   J (nearest integer).

[Given: R = 0.082 L atm K mol]

Strategy:
 Identify the types of thermodynamic processes in the cycle and calculate the reversible work for each. Work .

Step 1: Analyze paths
- 1 to 2: Isochoric () .
- 2 to 3: Isobaric ().
  .
- 3 to 4: Isochoric () .

Step 2: Total work and Conversion
Total .
Rounding to nearest integer gives .
