Initial pressure and volume of a monoatomic ideal gas are $P$ and $V$. The change in internal energy of this gas in adiabatic expansion to volume $V_{final} = 27V$ is . . . . . . $J$.

An ideal monoatomic gas of volume $V$ is adiabatically expanded to a volume $3V$ at $27^{\circ}C$. The final temperature in Kelvins is (use $\frac{C_P}{C_V} = \frac{5}{3}$)

During an adiabatic process,the pressure of the gas is found to be proportional to the cube of its absolute temperature. The ratio $C_P/C_V = \gamma$ for the gas is:

If $\Delta U$ and $\Delta W$ represent the increase in internal energy and work done by the system respectively in a thermodynamical process,which of the following is true?

$A$ polyatomic gas $(\gamma = 4/3)$ is compressed to $(1/8)^{\text{th}}$ of its initial volume adiabatically. If its initial pressure is $P_0$,what will be its new pressure (in $P_0$)?
