One mole of an ideal gas at initial temperature $T$ undergoes a quasi-static process during which the volume $V$ is doubled. During the process,the internal energy $U$ obeys the equation $U = a V^3$,where $a$ is a constant. The work done during this process is

Heat is applied to a rigid diatomic gas at constant pressure. The ratio $\Delta Q : \Delta U : \Delta W$ is

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?

Consider two containers $A$ and $B$ containing identical gases at the same pressure,volume and temperature. The gas in container $A$ is compressed to half of its original volume isothermally while the gas in container $B$ is compressed to half of its original volume adiabatically. The ratio of final pressure of gas in $B$ to that of gas in $A$ is

The initial pressure and volume of a gas are $P$ and $V$ respectively. First,the gas is expanded to a volume of $9V$ by an isothermal process,and then it is compressed to a volume of $V$ by an adiabatic process. What is its final pressure (in $P$)? (Ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to constant volume $\gamma = \frac{3}{2}$)
