(A) $1.$ True. For an adiabatic process,the relation between temperature $T$ and volume $V$ is given by $T V^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant}$.
$2.$ True. The charging of a battery is considered a reversible process if it is done infinitely slowly without any energy dissipation.
$3.$ False. Water falling from a height is an irreversible process because the kinetic energy gained is dissipated as heat due to friction and impact,which cannot be recovered.
$4.$ False. Internal energy,volume,and mass are extensive variables (they depend on the amount of matter),whereas pressure,temperature,and density are intensive variables (they are independent of the amount of matter).

$A$ gas may expand either adiabatically or isothermally. $A$ number of $P-V$ curves are drawn for the two processes over different ranges of pressure and volume. It will be found that:

Three moles of an ideal gas undergo a cyclic process $ABCA$ as shown in the figure. The pressure,volume,and absolute temperature at points $A, B,$ and $C$ are respectively $(P_1, V_1, T_1)$,$(P_2, 3V_1, T_1)$,and $(P_2, V_1, T_2)$. Then the total work done in the cycle $ABCA$ is (where $R$ is the universal gas constant).

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 $(V_0, P_0)$.

An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process through various thermodynamic states. The heat energy $(Q)$ and work $(W)$ associated with these states are given as follows:
$Q_1 = 6000 \ J, Q_2 = -5500 \ J, Q_3 = -3300 \ J, Q_4 = 3500 \ J,$
$W_1 = 2500 \ J, W_2 = -1000 \ J, W_3 = -1200 \ J, W_4 = x \ J$
If the ratio of the net work done to the net heat absorbed is $\eta$, then the values of $x$ and $\eta$ are respectively:
