A piston-cylinder contains 0.1 kg of superheated steam at 180?C and 5.0 bars. The piston is frictionless and freely floating. Heat is added until the final volume is twice the initial volume.

a. What is the final temperature and the change in internal energy for the steam?

b. What is the work done on or by the steam?

c. How much heat is supplied to the steam?
