Answer

zero

Work Step by Step

For state 3, the ideal gas equation can be written as: $P_3V_3=nRT_3$ This equation can be rearranged as: $T_3=\frac{P_3V_3}{nR}$...............eq(1) Furthermore, $P_3=2$ $P_1=2(20.2\times10^5)=40.4\times10^5Pa$ and $V_3=0.500V_1=0.500(0.0015)=0.00075m^3$ Putting these values in eq(1), we get $T_3=\frac{(40.4\times10^5)(0.00075)}{(3)(8.314)}$ $T_3=122K$ As $T_3=T_1$ so $\Delta T=0$ This shows that change in internal energy is zero from state 1 to state 3.
