<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
Step 1 Temperature from T =27C to T = 0C constant volume process
Step 2 At 0C volume changes from V1 to V1/2 , isothermally
Step 3 Temperature changes from 0C to 27C , constant volume process
Step 4 Volume changes from V/2 to V1 isothermally at 27C
From the description of the problem it is clear that the problem is a cyclic process , which involves 2 isothermal process at 27C and 0C and two constant volume process at volume coressponding to the volume of ideal gas at the given conditions. since it is a cyclic proess (comes back to the initial state)
are zero because they are sate functions and in a cyclic process the change in state functions are zero, 
The first law can be written as
with appropriate sign convention , since
\
Qnet = Wnet
work is zero for the two constant volume process , contribution to work comes only from isothermal process ,and for ideal gas it is given as 
It is given 

, so this amount of work has to be done on the system , since Q= W , Q = -2221.91 Joules of heat is to be transfered from the system.
