One mole of an ideal gas with $\gamma = 1.4$ is adiabatically compressed so that its temperature rises from $27^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$. The change in the internal energy of the gas is ....... $J$ $(R = 8.3 \, J/mol \cdot K)$.

$A$ gas at normal temperature is suddenly compressed to one-fourth of its original volume. If $\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\gamma=1.5$,then the increase in its temperature is (in $K$)

$A$ monatomic gas at $630 \,K$ expands adiabatically to $27$ times its initial volume. The final temperature of the gas is (in $\,K$)
