Full solution. 300 words.
Temperature: T2 / T1 = (P2 /P1)^(K-1)/K
Work: W = n Cv (T2 -T1)
COP = Th / ( Th - Tc)

Question 1(a):
Let initial pressure P1=600 Kpa
Final Pressure P2 = 120 Kpa
Initial Temperature T1=507 K
Let Final Temperature = T2
T2 / T1 = (P2 /P1)^(K-1)/K
T2 = ((120/600)^(0.286) )* 507
T2= 202 K
Final Temperature is ...
