An ideal gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled and then allowed to expand adiabatically to regain its original volume ($\gamma = 1.4$ and $2^{-1.4} = 0.38$). The ratio of the final to initial pressure is (in $: 1$)

  • A
    $0.76$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $0.66$
  • D

Three samples $X, Y$,and $Z$ of the same gas have equal volumes and temperatures. The volume of each sample is doubled. The process is isothermal for $X$,adiabatic for $Y$,and isobaric for $Z$. If the final pressures are equal for the three samples,find the ratio of the initial pressures. (Take adiabatic exponent $\gamma = 3/2$)

When a system is taken from a state $i$ to $f$ along the path $iaf$ (as shown in the figure),$Q = 50 \, cal$ and $W = 20 \, cal$. Along path $ibf$,$Q = 36 \, cal$.
$(i)$ What is $W$ along path $ibf$?
$(ii)$ If $W = -13 \, cal$ for path $fi$,what is $Q$ for the path $fi$?
$(iii)$ Take $E_{int,i} = 10 \, cal$,then what is $E_{int,f}$?

Two identical samples of a gas are allowed to expand $(i)$ isothermally and $(ii)$ adiabatically. The work done is:

One mole of a monoatomic ideal gas goes through a thermodynamic cycle,as shown in the volume versus temperature $(V-T)$ diagram. The correct statement$(s)$ is/are :
[$R$ is the gas constant]
$(1)$ Work done in this thermodynamic cycle $(1 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 3 \rightarrow 4 \rightarrow 1)$ is $|W| = \frac{1}{2} RT_0$
$(2)$ The ratio of heat transfer during processes $1 \rightarrow 2$ and $2 \rightarrow 3$ is $\left|\frac{Q_{1 \rightarrow 2}}{Q_{2 \rightarrow 3}}\right| = \frac{5}{3}$
$(3)$ The above thermodynamic cycle exhibits only isochoric and adiabatic processes.
$(4)$ The ratio of heat transfer during processes $1 \rightarrow 2$ and $3 \rightarrow 4$ is $\left|\frac{Q_{1 \rightarrow 2}}{Q_{3 \rightarrow 4}}\right| = \frac{1}{2}$

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 $\Delta U$?
