$A$ monoatomic gas at pressure $P$ and volume $V$ is suddenly compressed to one-eighth of its original volume. The final pressure at constant entropy will be $.....P$.

The $P-V$ graph of an ideal gas cycle is shown. The adiabatic process is described by the region

The work done in an adiabatic change in a gas depends only on

If $\gamma$ denotes the ratio of two specific heats of a gas, the ratio of the slopes of adiabatic and isothermal $PV$ curves at their point of intersection is:

$A$ cylinder with adiabatic walls is closed at both ends and is divided into two compartments by a frictionless adiabatic piston. Ideal gas is filled in both (left and right) compartments at the same $P, V, T$. Heating is started from the left side until the pressure changes to $\frac{27P}{8}$. If the initial volume of each compartment was $9 \text{ litres}$,then the final volume in the right-hand side compartment is . . . . . . litres. (for this ideal gas $\gamma = C_P/C_V = 1.5$)
