An ideal gas at pressure $P_0$ undergoes an isothermal expansion until its volume is $8.0$ times its initial volume. The gas is slowly and adiabatically compressed back to its original volume. If the adiabatic constant of the gas is $\gamma = 4/3$, then the ratio of the average kinetic energy per molecule in this final state to that in the initial state is

  • A
    $1.44$
  • B
    $1.68$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $1.2$

$A$ reversible cyclic process for an ideal gas is shown below. Here,$P, V$,and $T$ are pressure,volume,and temperature,respectively. The thermodynamic parameters $q, w, H$,and $U$ are heat,work,enthalpy,and internal energy,respectively.
The correct option$(s)$ is (are):
$(A)$ $q_{AC} = \Delta U_{BC}$ and $W_{AB} = P_2(V_2 - V_1)$
$(B)$ $W_{BC} = P_2(V_2 - V_1)$ and $q_{BC} = H_{AC}$
$(C)$ $\Delta H_{CA} < \Delta U_{CA}$ and $q_{AC} = \Delta U_{BC}$
$(D)$ $q_{BC} = \Delta H_{AC}$ and $\Delta H_{CA} > \Delta U_{CA}$

If $R$ is the universal gas constant,the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of $2$ moles of an ideal monoatomic gas from $273 \ K$ to $373 \ K$ when no work is done is equal to ...... $R$.

$A$ heating element of resistance $r$ is fitted inside an adiabatic cylinder which carries a frictionless piston of mass $m$ and cross-sectional area $A$. The cylinder contains one mole of a diatomic gas. The temperature of the gas varies with time $t$ as $T = \alpha t + \frac{1}{2} \beta t^2$ (where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants), while the pressure remains constant. The atmospheric pressure above the piston is $P_0$. Then:
