Two moles of monoatomic gas is expanded from $(P_0, V_0)$ to $(P_0, 2V_0)$ under isobaric condition. Let $\Delta Q_1$,$\Delta W_1$,and $\Delta U_1$ be the heat given to the gas,the work done by the gas,and the change in internal energy,respectively. Now,the monoatomic gas is replaced by a diatomic gas,with other conditions remaining the same. The corresponding values in this case are $\Delta Q_2$,$\Delta W_2$,and $\Delta U_2$. Then:

One mole of an ideal gas expands adiabatically from an initial state $(T_A, V_0)$ to a final state $(T_f, 5 V_0)$. Another mole of the same gas expands isothermally from a different initial state $(T_B, V_0)$ to the same final state $(T_f, 5 V_0)$. The ratio of the specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume of this ideal gas is $\gamma$. What is the ratio $T_A / T_B$?

One mole of a diatomic ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process $ABC$ as shown in the figure. The process $BC$ is adiabatic. The temperatures at $A, B$ and $C$ are $400 \ K, 800 \ K$ and $600 \ K$ respectively. Choose the correct statement.

One mole of an ideal gas $\left( \frac{C_p}{C_v} = \gamma \right)$ is heated according to the law $P = \alpha V$,where $P$ is the pressure of the gas,$V$ is the volume,and $\alpha$ is a constant. What is the molar heat capacity of the gas in this process?

$1\,g$ of a liquid is converted to vapour at $3 \times 10^5\,Pa$ pressure. If $10\%$ of the heat supplied is used for increasing the volume by $1600\,cm^3$ during this phase change,then the increase in internal energy in the process will be $............\,J$.
