A cylinder containing a gas is closed by a movable piston. The cylinder is submerged in an ice water mixture. The piston is quickly pushed down from position 1 to position 2. The piston is held at position 2 until the gas is again at
and then slowly raised back to position 1. Represent the whole process on P-V diagram. If
100 gm of ice are melted during the cycle, how much work is done on the gas, Latent heat of ice
.
