$A$ cylinder made of perfectly non-conducting material,closed at both ends,is divided into two equal parts by a heat-proof piston. Both parts of the cylinder contain the same mass of a gas at a temperature $t_0 = 27^{\circ}C$ and pressure $P_0 = 1 \text{ atm}$. If the gas in one of the parts is slowly heated to $t = 57^{\circ}C$ while the temperature of the first part is maintained at $t_0$,the distance moved by the piston from the middle of the cylinder will be $x \text{ cm}$. Find $x$ (total length of the cylinder $= 84 \text{ cm}$).

What is the specific heat of a gas in an isothermal process and an adiabatic process?

The volume $V$ of a given mass of monoatomic gas changes with temperature $T$ according to the relation $V = KT^{2/3}$. The work done when temperature changes by $90\,K$ will be $xR$. The value of $x$ is $[R = \text{universal gas constant}]$

$A$ given amount of gas has an initial state $(P_i, V_i, T_i)$. It expands until its volume becomes $V_f$. Consider the following two cases:
$(a)$ The expansion occurs at constant temperature (isothermal).
$(b)$ The expansion occurs at constant pressure (isobaric).
Draw the $P-V$ diagram for each case. In which of the two cases is the work done by the gas greater?

$A$ gas is compressed from a volume of $2\,m^3$ to a volume of $1\,m^3$ at a constant pressure of $100\,N/m^2$. Then it is heated at constant volume by supplying $150\,J$ of energy. As a result,the internal energy of the gas

An ideal gas expands isothermally from a volume $V_1$ to $V_2$ and then is compressed to the original volume $V_1$ adiabatically. The initial pressure is $P_1$ and the final pressure is $P_3$. If the total work done is $W$,then:
