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

If heat energy $\Delta Q$ is supplied to an ideal diatomic gas,the increase in internal energy is $\Delta U$ and the amount of work done by the gas is $\Delta W$. The ratio $\Delta W: \Delta U: \Delta Q$ is

The slopes of the isothermal and adiabatic $p-V$ graphs of a gas are $S_I$ and $S_A$ respectively. If the heat capacity ratio of the gas is $\frac{3}{2}$,then $\frac{S_I}{S_A}=$

$1\,g$ 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 $............\,J$.
