$A$ gas undergoes a change of state during which $100 \ J$ of heat is supplied to it and it does $20 \ J$ of work. The system is brought back to its original state through a process during which $20 \ J$ of heat is released by the gas. The work done by the gas in the second process is ....... $J$

Is the splitting of water an exothermic or an endothermic process?

Read the following statements:
$A.$ When the small temperature difference between a liquid and its surroundings is doubled,the rate of loss of heat of the liquid becomes twice.
$B.$ Two bodies $P$ and $Q$ having equal surface areas are maintained at temperatures $10^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. The thermal radiation emitted in a given time by $P$ and $Q$ are in the ratio $1:1.15$.
$C.$ $A$ Carnot engine working between $100 K$ and $400 K$ has an efficiency of $75\%$.
$D.$ When the small temperature difference between a liquid and its surroundings is quadrupled,the rate of loss of heat of the liquid becomes twice.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Two gases $A$ and $B$ have the same initial state $(P, V, n, T)$. Gas $A$ is compressed to $V/8$ by an isothermal process,and gas $B$ is compressed to $V/8$ by an adiabatic process. The ratio of the final pressure of gas $A$ to that of gas $B$ is (Both gases are monoatomic,$\gamma = 5/3$).

The figure below shows two paths that may be taken by a gas to go from a state $A$ to a state $C.$ In process $AB,$ $400 \, J$ of heat is added to the system and in process $BC,$ $100 \, J$ of heat is added to the system. The heat absorbed by the system in the process $AC$ will be ...... $J$
