An ideal gas expands from volume $V_1$ to $V_2$. This may be achieved by either of the three processes: isobaric,isothermal,and adiabatic. Let $\Delta U$ be the change in internal energy of the gas,$Q$ be the quantity of heat added to the system,and $W$ be the work done by the system. Identify which of the following statements is false for $\Delta U$?

  • A
    $\Delta U$ is least under adiabatic process.
  • B
    $\Delta U$ is greatest under adiabatic process.
  • C
    $\Delta U$ is greatest under the isobaric process.
  • D
    $\Delta U$ in isothermal process lies in-between the values obtained under isobaric and adiabatic processes.

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain equal amounts of an ideal diatomic gas at $300 \ K$. The piston of $A$ is free to move,while that of $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is $30 \ K$,then the rise in temperature of the gas in $B$ is ..... $K$.

Suppose an ideal gas ($n$ moles) undergoes an expansion process $P = f(V)$ which passes through the point $(V_0, P_0)$. If the slope of the curve $P = f(V)$ is greater than the slope of the adiabatic curve passing through $(V_0, P_0)$,show that the gas absorbs heat at $(V_0, P_0)$.
