The $P-V$ diagram of a monoatomic gas is a straight line passing through the origin. The molar heat capacity of the gas in this process will be:

  • A
    $4 R$
  • B
    $2 R$
  • C
    $3 R$
  • D
    $\frac{4 R}{3}$

$0.02 \, mol$ of an ideal diatomic gas with initial temperature $20^{\circ} C$ is compressed from $1500 \, cm^3$ to $500 \, cm^3$. The thermodynamic process is such that $p V^2 = \beta$,where $\beta$ is a constant. Then,the value of $\beta$ is close to (the gas constant,$R = 8.31 \, J / K / mol$).

One mole of an ideal gas undergoes a process $PV^3 = \text{constant}$, where $P$ and $V$ are pressure and volume respectively. Let $W$ be the work done by the gas as its temperature is increased by $\Delta T$. The value of $|W|$ is ($R$ is the universal gas constant).
