Carbon monoxide is taken around the closed cycle $abc$. The process $bc$ is isothermal as shown in the figure. When the temperature of the gas is increased from $300 \ K$ to $1000 \ K$,it absorbs $7000 \ J$ of heat in going from $a$ to $b$. The heat released by the gas during the process $ca$ is ...... $J$.

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?

In the $p-V$ diagram below,the dashed curved line is an adiabat. For a process that is described by a straight line joining two points $X$ and $Y$ on the adiabat (solid line in the diagram),heat is (Hint: consider the variation in temperature from $X$ to $Y$ along the straight line)

An ideal monoatomic gas is carried along the cycle $ABCDA$ as shown in the figure. The total heat absorbed during this process is (in $p_0 V_0$)

Five moles of an ideal gas has pressure $p_0$, volume $V_0$, and temperature $T_0$. The gas is expanded to volume $3V_0$ along a path such that the pressure $p$ changes as a function of volume $V$ as $p = p_0(V/V_0)$. The pressure is then reduced to $p_0$ while maintaining constant volume. Finally, the gas undergoes an isobaric compression until the volume and temperature return to $V_0$ and $T_0$, respectively. The total work done by the gas during the entire process is:
