Task 1 from c to d

Task 1
(a) Look at planet earth in space as part of the solar system: is the earth in space an isothermal
or an adiabatic system? Explain your answer.
(b) In cold winter: in one room there is an electric heater, which is left plugged in and working.
Is this a heat or work interaction with the system? Take the entire room, including the electric
heater, as the system.
(c) Which process requires more energy: completely vaporizing 100 kg of saturated liquid water
at 1 atm pressure or completely vaporizing 100 kg of saturated liquid water at 5 atm pressure?
(d) For a cycle, is the net work necessarily zero? For what kinds of systems will this be the case?
