Two samples of gas $A$ and $B$ are initially at the same pressure and temperature. They are compressed from volume $V$ to $V/2$. If $A$ is compressed isothermally and $B$ is compressed adiabatically,then the final pressure of $A$ is:

  • A
    Greater than the final pressure of $B$
  • B
    Equal to the final pressure of $B$
  • C
    Less than the final pressure of $B$
  • D
    Double the final pressure of $B$

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 $(V_0, P_0)$.

For an ideal gas, a cyclic process $ABCA$ as shown in the $P-T$ diagram, when presented in a $P-V$ plot, would be:

Consider the following volume-temperature $(V-T)$ diagram for the expansion of $5$ moles of an ideal monoatomic gas. Considering only $P-V$ work is involved,the total change in enthalpy (in Joule) for the transformation of state in the sequence $X \rightarrow Y \rightarrow Z$ is $\qquad$ [Use the given data: Molar heat capacity of the gas for the given temperature range,$C_{v,m} = 12 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$ and gas constant,$R = 8.3 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$]

One mole of a diatomic ideal gas undergoes a process shown in $P-V$ diagram. The total heat given to the gas $(\ln 2 = 0.7)$ is (in $P_0 V_0$)
