During an experiment, an ideal gas is found to obey a condition $VP^2 = \text{constant}$. The gas is initially at a temperature $T$, pressure $P$, and volume $V$. The gas expands to volume $4V$. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The pressure of the gas changes to $P/2$.
  • B
    The graph of the above process on the $P-T$ diagram is a hyperbola.
  • C
    The graph of the above process on the $P-T$ diagram is a parabola.
  • D

An ideal gas follows a process described by $p V^2 = C$ from $(p_1, V_1, T_1)$ to $(p_2, V_2, T_2)$,where $C$ is a constant. Then,

$A$ gas expands with temperature according to the relation $V = k T^{2/3}$. What is the work done when the temperature changes by $30^{\circ}C$ (in $R$)?

The pressure and volume of an ideal gas are related as $PV^{3/2} = K$ (constant). The work done when the gas is taken from state $A(P_1, V_1, T_1)$ to state $B(P_2, V_2, T_2)$ is:
