A cylinder of ideal gas is closed by an 8 kg movable piston of area 60 cm260 \text{ cm}^2 . The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. When the gas is heated from 30∘C30^\circ \text{C} to 100∘C100^\circ \text{C} , the piston rises 20 cm. The piston is then fastened in the place and the gas is cooled back to 30∘C30^\circ \text{C} . If ΔQ1\Delta Q_1 is the heat added to the gas during heating and ΔQ2\Delta Q_2 is the heat lost during cooling, find the difference.
