A cylinder with a piston contains 0.250 mol of oxygen at 2.40 * 10^5 Pa and 355 K. The oxygen may be treated as an ideal gas. The gas first expands isobarically to twice its original volume. It is then compressed isothermally back to its original volume, and finally it is cooled isochorically to its original pressure. Compute the maximum pressure
