Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    For an isothermal change, $PV = \text{constant}$.
  • B
    In an isothermal process, the change in internal energy must be equal to the work done.
  • C
    For an adiabatic change, $\frac{P_2}{P_1} = \left( \frac{V_1}{V_2} \right)^\gamma$, where $\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats.
  • D
    In an adiabatic process, work done must be equal to the heat entering the system.

$A$ monoatomic ideal gas is heated at constant pressure. The percentage of total heat used in increasing the internal energy and that used for doing external work is $A$ and $B$ respectively. Then the ratio,$A: B$ is

$A$ gas undergoes a change of state during which $100 \ J$ of heat is supplied to it and it does $20 \ J$ of work. The system is brought back to its original state through a process during which $20 \ J$ of heat is released by the gas. The work done by the gas in the second process is ....... $J$
