Question

A gas expands from I to F in the figure below. The energy added to the gas by heat is 276 J when the gas goes from I to F along the diagonal path.

A pressure-volume graph consists of points and line segments plotted on a coordinate plane, where the horizontal axis is V (liters)and the vertical axis is P (atm). Three points are plotted:
  • point I at (2, 4)
  • point A at (4, 4)
  • point F at (4, 1)
Line segments connect the three points to form a triangle. Arrows along the line segments point from I to A, from A to F, and from I to F.
(a) What is the change in internal energy of the gas?
J

(b) How much energy must be added to the gas by heat along the indirect path IAF?
