In this process, a gas is taken through a complete cycle, ending in the exact same state in which it began. The PV curve for this process is shown in the figure below (see next page). The process consists of the following four steps: (1) A reversible, isothermal expansion from point A to point B. (2) A reversible, adiabatic expansion from point B to point C. (3) A reversible, isothermal compression from point C to point D. (4) A reversible, adiabatic compression from point D back to point A. Assume that 1.00 mol of an ideal, monatomic gas is put through this process with the states A, B, C, and D given
