◦
1 200

◦
1 900

◦
800

◦
560

◦
240


Question 2

◦
work must be done on the gas to return it to its original volume.

◦
heat must be exchanged with the surroundings to return the gas to its original temperature.

◦
its internal energy has a greater value after the expanded gas is returned to its original volume and temperature.

◦
of all of the above.

◦
of (a) and (b) above only.
