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

1.  r2/r1

2.  r2/r12

3.  r1/r2

4.  r1/r22

During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does \(-150\text{ J}\) of work against its surrounding. This implies that:

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