An ideal monatomic gas expands isobarically from state A to state B. It is then compressed isothermally from  state B to state C and finally cooled at constant volume until it returns to its initial state A. Part A) What is the temperature of the gas when it is in state B? Part B) How much work is done by the gas in expanding isobarically from A to B? Part C) How much work is done on the gas in going from B to C?
