For four situations for an abe d ideal gas, the table gives the Q -50 +35 -15 +20 energy transferred to or from the W - 50 + 35 gas as heat Q and either the work Won -40 +40 W done by the gas or the work Won done on the gas, all in joules. Rank the four situations in terms of the temperature change of the gas, p most positive first.

Question
(a) Rank the four paths of Fig. 19-16 according to the work done by the gas, greatest first. (b) Rank paths 1,2, and 3 according to the change in the internal energy of the gas, most positive first and most negative last.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 7 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) Rank the four paths of Fig. 19-16 according to the work done by the gas, greatest first. (b) Rank paths 1,2, and 3 according to the change in the internal energy of the gas, most positive first and most negative last.
From the textbook chapter THE KINETIC THEORY OF GASES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
