    (a) the work done on the gas

    From the definition of work in thermodynamics,

    W = integral (PdV)

    It is said that the process above is done at constant volume. Therefore, the value of dV is zero which would result to

    W = integral (PdV) = 0

    (b) the increase in internal energy of the gas

    From the first law of thermodynamics,

    ΔU = Q + W

    where U is the change in internal energy, Q is the heat and W is the work which is zero in this case

    ΔU = Q = 209 J

    (c) its final temperature

    at constant volume,

    Q = nCv (T2 - T1)

    209 = 1 (3R/2) (T2 - 300)

    T = 316.76 K
