An ideal gas is made to undergo the cyclic process shown in the figure below. Let $\Delta W$ depict the work done,$\Delta U$ be the change in internal energy of the gas,and $Q$ be the heat added to the gas. The signs of each of these three quantities for the whole cycle will be ($0$ refers to no change):

In the cyclic process shown in the figure,the work done by the gas in one cycle is (in $,{P_1}{V_1}$)

$A$ cyclic process $ABCA$ is shown in the $T-V$ diagram. An ideal gas of $2 \text{ mole}$ undergoes this process. $A$ total of $1200 \text{ J}$ of heat is rejected by the gas in the complete cycle. Find the work done by the gas during the process $BC$. (in $\text{ J}$)

The figure given below shows the variation in the internal energy $U$ with volume $V$ of $2.0 \text{ mole}$ of an ideal gas in a cyclic process $abcda$. The temperatures of the gas during the processes $ab$ and $cd$ are $500 \text{ K}$ and $300 \text{ K}$ respectively. The heat absorbed by the gas during the complete process is .... $J$. (Take $R = 8.3 \text{ J/mol-K}$ and $\ln 2 = 0.69$)

An ideal gas is taken through a quasi-static process described by $P = \alpha V^2$,where $\alpha = 5 \text{ atm}/m^6$. The gas is expanded to twice its original volume of $1 \text{ m}^3$. How much work is done by the expanding gas in this process?
