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

An ideal gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled and then allowed to expand adiabatically to regain its original volume ($\gamma = 1.4$ and $2^{-1.4} = 0.38$). The ratio of the final to initial pressure is (in $: 1$)

Two identical adiabatic vessels are filled with oxygen at pressure $P_1$ and $P_2$ $(P_1 > P_2)$. The vessels are interconnected with each other by a non-conducting pipe. If $U_{01}$ and $U_{02}$ denote the initial internal energy of oxygen in the first and second vessel respectively,and $U_{f1}$ and $U_{f2}$ denote the final internal energy values,then:

What is an isochoric process and a cyclic process? Write the first law of thermodynamics for an ideal gas.

One mole of a gas expands such that its volume $V$ changes with absolute temperature $T$ in accordance with the relation $V = K T^2$,where $K$ is a constant. If the temperature of the gas changes by $60 \text{ K}$,then the work done by the gas is ($R$ is the universal gas constant).

$A$ monatomic gas at a pressure $P$, having a volume $V$, expands isothermally to a volume $2V$ and then adiabatically to a volume $16V$. The final pressure of the gas is (Take $\gamma = 5/3$)
