1.0\,\text{mol}

ideal gas is taken through the rectangular cycle

abca

described below: (i) ab: expansion at constant pressure

2.0\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

from volume

0.020\,\text{m}^3

0.040\,\text{m}^3

. (ii) bc: cooling at constant volume back to pressure

1.0\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

. (iii) ca: compression at constant pressure

1.0\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

to the original volume. Calculate the net heat absorbed by the gas over one complete cycle.
