Below is an illustration of a thermodynamic cycle on a diatomic ideal gas. Notice that $AB$ is an isovolumetric process, $BC$ is an isothermal process, and $CA$ is isobaric.

$P_o=100$kPa

$V_o=1\mathrm{.}0m^3$

The initial temperature $($at A$)$ is $240K.$

How many moles of gas is there?

How much work is done in step $AB?$

How much heat is transferred in process $AB?($What is $($:$Q_{AB}\}?$

How much heat is lost to the environment during the isobaric process?

The homework for this section will all be questions based on this process. Think of it as one problem with many parts.
