(N/A) $1$. Isothermal Process: $A$ process in which the temperature of the system remains constant $(T = \text{constant})$. For an ideal gas, the internal energy remains constant $(dU = 0)$.
$2$. Adiabatic Process: $A$ process in which there is no exchange of heat between the system and its surroundings $(dQ = 0)$.
$3$. Isobaric Process: $A$ process in which the pressure of the system remains constant $(P = \text{constant})$.
$4$. First Law of Thermodynamics: For an ideal gas, the first law is given by $dQ = dU + dW$, where $dQ$ is the heat supplied to the system, $dU$ is the change in internal energy, and $dW$ is the work done by the system.

Which of the following is correct in terms of increasing work done for the same initial and final state?

Two samples of gas $A$ and $B$ are initially at the same pressure and temperature. They are compressed from volume $V$ to $V/2$. If $A$ is compressed isothermally and $B$ is compressed adiabatically,then the final pressure of $A$ is:

If ${C_V} = 4.96 \text{ cal/mole K}$,then the increase in internal energy when the temperature of $2 \text{ moles}$ of this gas is increased from $340 \text{ K}$ to $342 \text{ K}$ is ....... $\text{cal}$.

In changing the state of a gas adiabatically from an equilibrium state $A$ to another equilibrium state $B$,an amount of work equal to $22.3 \; J$ is done on the system. If the gas is taken from state $A$ to $B$ via a process in which the net heat absorbed by the system is $9.35 \; cal$,how much is the net work done (in $J$) by the system in the latter case? (Take $1 \; cal = 4.19 \; J$)

$2$ moles of an ideal monoatomic gas is carried from a state $(p_{0}, V_{0})$ to state $(2 p_{0}, 2 V_{0})$ along a straight line path in a $p-V$ diagram. The amount of heat absorbed by the gas in the process is given by
