An ideal monoatomic gas expands to twice its volume. If the process is isothermal,the magnitude of work done by the gas is $W_i$. If the process is adiabatic,the magnitude of work done by the gas is $W_a$. Which of the following is true?

  • A
    $W_i=W_a > 0$
  • B
    $W_i > W_{a} > 0$
  • C
    $W_i > W_{a}=0$
  • D

Initial pressure and volume of a gas are $P$ and $V$ respectively. First it is expanded isothermally to volume $4V$ and then compressed adiabatically to volume $V$. The final pressure of the gas will be (given $\gamma = 3/2$): (in $,P$)

$A$ monoatomic gas of pressure $P$ having volume $V$ expands isothermally to a volume $2V$ and then adiabatically to a volume $16V$. The final pressure of the gas is (ratio of specific heats $\gamma = \frac{5}{3}$)

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain equal number of moles of an ideal monoatomic gas at $400 \,K$. The piston of $A$ is free to move while that of $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat energy is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is $42 \,K$, what is the rise in temperature of the gas in $B$ (in $\,K$)? (Given $\gamma = 5/3$)

The $VT$ curve for a thermodynamic process is given. Identify the corresponding $PV$ curve.

$A$ given mass of a gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled. It is then allowed to expand adiabatically until its original volume is restored and its pressure is then found to be $0.75$ of its initial pressure. The ratio of the specific heats of the gas is approximately:
