In the $p-V$ diagram below,the dashed curved line is an adiabat. For a process that is described by a straight line joining two points $X$ and $Y$ on the adiabat (solid line in the diagram),heat is (Hint: consider the variation in temperature from $X$ to $Y$ along the straight line)

In a certain thermodynamical process,the pressure of a gas depends on its volume as $P = kV^{3}$. The work done when the temperature changes from $100^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$ will be .......... $nR$,where $n$ denotes the number of moles of a gas.

Five moles of an ideal gas has pressure $p_0$, volume $V_0$, and temperature $T_0$. The gas is expanded to volume $3V_0$ along a path such that the pressure $p$ changes as a function of volume $V$ as $p = p_0(V/V_0)$. The pressure is then reduced to $p_0$ while maintaining constant volume. Finally, the gas undergoes an isobaric compression until the volume and temperature return to $V_0$ and $T_0$, respectively. The total work done by the gas during the entire process is:

An ideal gas expands isothermally from volume $V_1$ to volume $V_2$. It is then compressed to the original volume $V_1$ adiabatically. If $p_1$ and $p_2$ represent the initial pressure and final pressure respectively, and $W$ represents the net work done by the gas during the entire process, then:

One mole of an ideal gas $\left( \frac{C_p}{C_v} = \gamma \right)$ is heated according to the law $P = \alpha V$,where $P$ is the pressure of the gas,$V$ is the volume,and $\alpha$ is a constant. What is the molar heat capacity of the gas in this process?
