The specific heat of an isothermal process is:

The work done by an ideal gas of $2 \text{ moles}$ in increasing its volume from $V$ to $2V$ at constant temperature $T$ is $W$. The work done by an ideal gas of $4 \text{ moles}$ in increasing its volume from $V$ to $8V$ at constant temperature $\frac{T}{2}$ is:

Two identical containers $A$ and $B$ with frictionless pistons contain the same ideal gas at the same temperature and the same volume $V$. The mass of the gas in $A$ is ${m_A}$ and that in $B$ is ${m_B}$. The gas in each cylinder is now allowed to expand isothermally to the same final volume $2V$. The changes in the pressure in $A$ and $B$ are found to be $\Delta P$ and $1.5 \Delta P$ respectively. Then:

Can $PV = RT$ be described with an isothermal or an adiabatic process?

For an ideal gas, in an isothermal process:
