When a gas undergoes adiabatic expansion,it cools down because:

  • A
    It loses kinetic energy.
  • B
    Its temperature decreases.
  • C
    Its velocity decreases.
  • D
    Its internal energy is used to perform work.

At $1 \ bar$ pressure,a gas has a volume of $0.6 \ L$. If this gas gains $122 \ J$ of heat at $1 \ bar$ pressure,its volume becomes $2 \ L$. Calculate its internal energy change. [Given: $1 \ L \cdot bar = 101.32 \ J$]

$A$ gas can be taken from state $A$ to state $B$ via two different paths $ACB$ and $ADB$. When path $ACB$ is used, $60 \text{ J}$ of heat flows into the system and $30 \text{ J}$ of work is done by the system. If path $ADB$ is used, the work done by the system is $10 \text{ J}$. The heat flow into the system in path $ADB$ is: (in $text{ J}$)
