Problem
Consider the following volume–temperature (V–T) diagram for the expansion of 5 moles of an ideal monoatomic gas. Considering only P-V work is involved, the total change in enthalpy (in Joule) for the transformation of state in the sequence X→Y→Z is _____. [Use the given data: Molar heat capacity of the gas for the given temperature range, Cᵥ,ₘ = 12 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ and gas constant, R = 8.3 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹]
