$A$ sample of $1.0 \ mol$ of a monoatomic ideal gas is taken through a cyclic process of expansion and compression as shown in the figure. What will be the value of $\Delta H$ for the cycle as a whole?

(0) Enthalpy $(H)$ is a state function,which means its value depends only on the initial and final states of the system.
In a cyclic process,the system returns to its initial state after completing the cycle.
Therefore,the change in enthalpy for the entire cycle is zero,i.e.,$\Delta H_{\text{cycle}} = 0$.

One mole of an ideal gas at $25\,^{\circ}C$ expands its volume from $1\,L$ to $4\,L$ at constant temperature. What work (in $J$) is done if the gas expands against a vacuum $(P_{ext} = 0)$?

If $5 \ mol$ of an ideal gas expands from $10 \ L$ to a volume of $100 \ L$ at $300 \ K$ under isothermal and reversible conditions,then the work done,$w$,is $-x \ J$. The value of $x$ is $ . . . . . . $. (Given $R = 8.314 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$)
