Three moles of an ideal gas undergo a cyclic process $ABCA$ as shown in the figure. The pressure, volume, and absolute temperature at points $A, B,$ and $C$ are respectively $(P_1, V_1, T_1)$, $(P_2, 3V_1, T_1)$, and $(P_2, V_1, T_2)$. Then the total work done in the cycle $ABCA$ is (where $R$ is the universal gas constant).

  • A
    $RT_1[3 \ln(3) - 2]$
  • B
    $RT_1[3 \ln(3) + 2]$
  • C
    $3RT_1 \ln(3)$
  • D
    $RT_1[3 \ln(2)]$

Two moles of helium gas $\left(\gamma = \frac{5}{3}\right)$ at $27^{\circ} C$ is expanded at constant pressure until its volume is doubled. Then it undergoes an adiabatic change until the temperature returns to its initial value. The work done during the adiabatic process is (universal gas constant $R = 8.3 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$) (in $J$)

An ideal monoatomic gas expands to twice its volume. If the process is isothermal,the magnitude of work done by the gas is $W_i$. If the process is adiabatic,the magnitude of work done by the gas is $W_a$. Which of the following is true?

Consider the following volume-temperature $(V-T)$ diagram for the expansion of $5$ moles of an ideal monoatomic gas. Considering only $P-V$ work is involved,the total change in enthalpy (in Joule) for the transformation of state in the sequence $X \rightarrow Y \rightarrow Z$ is $\qquad$ [Use the given data: Molar heat capacity of the gas for the given temperature range,$C_{v,m} = 12 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$ and gas constant,$R = 8.3 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$]

One mole of a monatomic ideal gas is taken along two cyclic processes $E \rightarrow F \rightarrow G \rightarrow E$ and $E \rightarrow F \rightarrow H \rightarrow E$ as shown in the $PV$ diagram. The processes involved are purely isochoric,isobaric,isothermal,or adiabatic. Match the paths in List-$I$ with the magnitudes of the work done in List-$II$ and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists.

$A$ certain amount of gas is taken through a cyclic process $(A-B-C-D-A)$ that has two isobars, one isochore, and one isothermal process. The cycle can be represented on a $P-V$ indicator diagram as:
