Problem

A closed gas system undergoes two sequential processes. (1) At constant volume, 500 J500\,\mathrm{J} of heat is added to the gas. (2) The gas then expands at constant pressure, performing 300 J300\,\mathrm{J} of work on the surroundings. The overall change in internal energy for the two-step sequence is measured to be +250 J+250\,\mathrm{J}. Calculate the amount of heat transferred during the constant-pressure expansion.
