The pressure of a monoatomic gas increases linearly from \(4\times 10^5~\text{N/m}^2\) to \(8\times 10^5~\text{N/m}^2\) when its volume increases from \(0.2 ~\text m^3\) to \(0.5 ~\text m^3.\) The work done by the gas is:
1. \(2 . 8 \times10^{5}~\text J\)
2. \(1 . 8 \times10^{6}~\text J\)
3. \(1 . 8 \times10^{5}~\text J\)
4. \(1 . 8 \times10^{2}~\text J\)

A sample of \(0.1\) g of water at \(100^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and normal pressure (\(1.013 \times10^5\) N m–2) requires \(54\) cal of heat energy to convert it into steam at \(100^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). If the volume of the steam produced is \(167.1\) cc, then the change in internal energy of the sample will be:

1. \(104.3\) J 2. \(208.7\) J
3. \(42.2\) J 4. \(84.5\) J
