A diatomic ideal gas goes through the cycle a ? b ? c ? d ? a as shown in the figure. Processes ab and cd are isothermal and occur at temperatures T_H = 390 K and T_C = 295 K, respectively. There are n = 35 moles of this gas in the system, and the initial volume is V_a = 0.0035 m³.

Part (a) Calculate the work W_ab, in joules, done by the gas during the process a ? b.

Part (b) Calculate the work W_bc done by the gas, in joules, during the process b ? c.

Part (c) Calculate the total work W done in the entire cycle, in joules.

Part (d) Calculate the total heat Q, in joules, flowing into the gas in a complete cycle.
