One mole of an ideal monatomic gas, initially at point A at a pressure of 1.0 x 10 newtons per meter squared and a volume of 25 x 10^-3 meter cubed, is taken through a 3-process cycle, as shown in the pV diagram to the right. Each process is done slowly and reversibly. For a monatomic gas, R is the universal gas constant, 8.32 J/mole K.
