Air ( 1 mol ) at 1 bar and 2 9 8 . 1 5 K is compressed to 3 bar and 2 9 8

Air (1mol) at 1 bar and 298.15K is compressed to 3 bar and 298.15K by the closed-system mechanically reversible process of heating at constant volume followed by cooling at constant pressure The following heat capacities for air may be assumed independent of temperature: cv=20.785 and cp=29.100J*mol-1*K-1. Assume that air remains a gas for which PV/T is a constant, regardless of the changes it undergoes. At 298.15K and 1 bar, the volume of 1mol of air is 0.02479m3. Please answer with the following unit: P(?bar),T(K),V(m3),Q(J),W(J),U(J), and H(J).
(a) What are the values of P,T,V of each state? (2 points)
(b) What are the values of Q,W,U,H of the first step? (2 points)
(c) What are the values of Q,W,U,H of the second step? (2 points)
(d) What are the values of Q,W,U,H of the overall process? (2 points)
(e) Plot the path of this process (P-V graph) with V as y-axis and P as x-axis (1 point)
(f) Plot the path of this process (P-T graph) with T as y-axis and P as x-axis (1 point)
