During the isothermal expansion of a diatomic gas, its volume changed from V1 = 2 m^3 at a pressure P1 = 0.5 MPa to p2 = 0.4 MPa, after which the gas was compressed isobarically to its original volume. It is necessary to draw a graph of the process in P–V coordinates and show the work of the gas on it. It is also necessary to determine the work done by the gas and the change in its internal energy.
To solve the problem, we use the Boyle-Mariotte law for an isothermal process:
P1V1 = P2V2
where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume of gas, P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume of gas.
First, let's find the final volume V2:
V2 = (P1 * V1) / P2 = (0.5 MPa * 2 m^3) / 0.4 MPa = 2.5 m^3
Next, according to Gay-Lussac’s law, we find the work of a gas under isobaric compression:
A = n * R * ΔT
where n is the amount of gas substance, R is the universal gas constant, ΔT is the change in gas temperature.
Since the process is isobaric, the gas pressure does not change, but the volume decreases. Therefore, ΔT = 0, and the work done by the gas is zero.
To find the change in the internal energy of a gas, we use the first law of thermodynamics:
ΔU = Q - A
where Q is the amount of heat received or given off by the gas, A is the work done by the gas.
Since the process is isothermal, then ΔT = 0, and therefore ΔU = 0, since the change in the internal energy of the gas during an isothermal process depends only on the amount of heat received or given off by the gas.
Thus, the process graph in P–V coordinates will display an isothermal expansion process from point (P1, V1) to point (P2, V2), and the work of the gas during this process is zero, and the change in its internal energy is also zero.

This product is not a physical item and cannot be described in the traditional sense. However, I can help with a problem that involves the isothermal expansion of a diatomic gas.
From the problem conditions it is known that the initial volume of gas V1 is equal to 2 m^3, and the initial pressure P1 is equal to 0.5 MPa. With isothermal expansion of the gas, the pressure decreased to p2 = 0.4 MPa. The gas was then compressed isobarically to its initial volume.
To solve the problem, you can use the ideal gas equation of state:
pV = nRT,
where p is the gas pressure, V is its volume, n is the amount of gas substance, R is the universal gas constant, T is the absolute temperature of the gas.
You can also use the Boyle-Mariotte law for an isothermal process:
p1V1 = p2V2,
where p1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume of the gas, p2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume of the gas.
From the Boyle-Marriott law we can express the final volume of gas:
V2 = (p1V1)/p2.
Since the process is isothermal, the temperature of the gas does not change, and the equation for the work of the gas can be used:
A = nRT ln(V2/V1),
where ln is the natural logarithm.
The change in internal energy of a gas for an isothermal process can be expressed by the formula:
ΔU = 0,
since the gas temperature remains constant.
Thus, to solve the problem, you need to calculate the final volume of gas V2 using the Boyle-Mariotte formula, then calculate the work of gas A using the formula for an isothermal process.
