Problem
An ideal monatomic gas of n moles is taken through a cycle WXYZW consisting of consecutive adiabatic and isobaric quasi-static processes, as shown in the schematic V-T diagram. The volume of the gas at W, X and Y points are, 64 cm³, 125 cm³ and 250 cm³, respectively. If the absolute temperature of the gas T_W at the point W is such that nRT_W = 1 J (R is the universal gas constant), then the amount of heat absorbed (in J) by the gas along the path XY is ___.
