The figure below shows a cylinder filled with an ideal gas, which has a moveable piston resting on it. The cylinder's volume is initially 5.50 L, when a force on the piston of F = 33.0 kN pushes the piston downward a distance d = 0.125 m, until the volume of the cylinder is 3.00 L. The process occurs while the cylinder is in thermal contact with a large energy reservoir at a temperature of 295 K. F T (a) How much work (in kJ) is done on the gas by the piston during the process? kJ (b) What is the change in internal energy (in kJ) of the gas during the process (from the initial state to the final state)? kJ (c) What is the energy transfer (in kJ) by the gas as heat during the process? (Treat the gas as the system and let the sign of your answer indicate the direction of energy flow.) kJ
