1. \(8\times 10^4\) cal/K
2. \(80\) cal/K
3. \(293\) cal/K
4. \(273\) cal/K

During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does -150 J of work against its surrounding. This implies that:

1. 300 J of heat has been added to the gas.
2. no heat is transferred because the process is isothermal.
3. 150 J of heat has been added to the gas.
4. 150 J of heat has been removed from the gas.

One mole of an ideal gas goes from an initial state \(A\) to the final state \(B\) with two processes. It first undergoes isothermal expansion from volume \(V\) to \(3V\) and then its volume is reduced from \(3V\) to \(V\) at constant pressure. The correct \((P-V)\) diagram representing the two processes is:

1. 2.
3. 4.
