An ideal gas is subjected to a cyclic process involving four thermodynamic states. The amounts of heat $(Q)$ and work $(W)$ involved in each of these states are:
$Q_1 = 6000 \ J, Q_2 = -5500 \ J, Q_3 = -3000 \ J, Q_4 = 3500 \ J$
$W_1 = 2500 \ J, W_2 = -1000 \ J, W_3 = -1200 \ J, W_4 = x \ J$
The ratio of the net work done by the gas to the total heat absorbed by the gas is $\eta$. The values of $x$ and $\eta$ respectively are:

  • A
    $500; 7.5 \%$
  • B
    $700; 10.5 \%$
  • C
    $1000; 21 \%$
  • D
    $1500; 15 \%$

$540$ calories of heat converts $1$ cubic centimeter of water at $100\,^oC$ into $1671$ cubic centimeter of steam at $100\,^oC$ at a pressure of one atmosphere. Then the work done against the atmospheric pressure is nearly .......... $cal$.

What are the differences between mechanics and thermodynamics?

One mole of an ideal diatomic gas expands from volume $V$ to $2V$ isothermally at a temperature $27^{\circ} C$ and does $W$ joule of work. If the gas undergoes the same magnitude of expansion adiabatically from $27^{\circ} C$ doing the same amount of work $W$, then its final temperature will be (close to) . . . . . . ${ }^{\circ} C$.
