    One mole of a monoatomic ideal gas $\left(c_{ V }=\frac{3}{2} R \right)$ undergoes a cycle where it first goes isochorically from the state $\left(\frac{3}{2} P _0, V _0\right)$ to $\left( P _0, V _0\right)$, and then is isobarically contracted to the volume $\frac{1}{2} V _0$. It is then taken back to the initial state by a path which is a quarter ellipse on the $P - V$ diagram. The efficiency of this cycle is

    One mole of an ideal gas at $300 \mathrm{~K}$ in thermal contact with surroundings expands isothermally from $1.0 \mathrm{~L}$ to $2.0 \mathrm{~L}$ against a constant pressure of $3.0 \mathrm{~atm}$. In this process, the change in entropy of surroundings $\left(\Delta S_{\text {surr }}\right)$ in $\mathrm{J} \mathrm{K}^{-1}$ is $(1 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~atm}=101.3 \mathrm{~J})$
