Consider two containers $A$ and $B$ containing identical gases at the same pressure,volume and temperature. The gas in container $A$ is compressed to half of its original volume isothermally while the gas in container $B$ is compressed to half of its original volume adiabatically. The ratio of final pressure of gas in $B$ to that of gas in $A$ is

  • A
    $2^{\gamma-1}$
  • B
    ${\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}}$
  • C
    ${\left( {\frac{1}{{1 - \gamma }}} \right)^2}$
  • D
    ${\left( {\frac{1}{{\gamma - 1 }}} \right)^2}$

$A$ real gas within a closed chamber at $27^{\circ} C$ undergoes the cyclic process as shown in the figure. The gas obeys the $PV^3 = RT$ equation for the path $A$ to $B$. The net work done in the complete cycle is (assuming $R = 8 \, J/mol \cdot K$): (in $ \, J$)

One mole of a gas expands such that its volume $V$ changes with absolute temperature $T$ in accordance with the relation $V = K T^2$,where $K$ is a constant. If the temperature of the gas changes by $60 \text{ K}$,then the work done by the gas is ($R$ is the universal gas constant).

Two identical adiabatic vessels are filled with oxygen at pressure $P_1$ and $P_2$ $(P_1 > P_2)$. The vessels are interconnected with each other by a non-conducting pipe. If $U_{01}$ and $U_{02}$ denote the initial internal energy of oxygen in the first and second vessel respectively,and $U_{f1}$ and $U_{f2}$ denote the final internal energy values,then:
