An ideal gas expands isothermally from a volume $V_1$ to $V_2$ and then is compressed to the original volume $V_1$ adiabatically. The initial pressure is $P_1$ and the final pressure is $P_3$. If the total work done is $W$,then:

  • A
    $P_3 > P_1, W > 0$
  • B
    $P_3 < P_1, W < 0$
  • C
    $P_3 > P_1, W < 0$
  • D
    $P_3 = P_1, W = 0$

One mole of a gas expands such that its volume $V$ changes with absolute temperature $T$ in accordance with the relation $V = K T^2$,where $K$ is a constant. If the temperature of the gas changes by $60 \text{ K}$,then the work done by the gas is ($R$ is the universal gas constant).

One mole of a monatomic ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process as shown in the figure (where $V$ is the volume and $T$ is the temperature). Which of the statements below is (are) true?
$(A)$ Process $I$ is an isochoric process
$(B)$ In process $II$,gas absorbs heat
$(C)$ In process $IV$,gas releases heat
$(D)$ Processes $I$ and $III$ are $not$ isobaric

Match the following:
List-$I$List-$II$
$i)$ Isothermal process$a)$ $0$
$ii)$ Isobaric process$b)$ $\frac{1}{\gamma-1}[P_2 V_2 - P_1 V_1]$
$iii)$ Isochoric process$c)$ $\mu RT \ln(\frac{V_2}{V_1})$
$iv)$ Adiabatic process$d)$ $P(V_2 - V_1)$

The correct answer is:

Answer the following questions based on the $P-T$ phase diagram of $CO_{2}$:
$(a)$ $CO_{2}$ at $1 \; atm$ pressure and temperature $-60^{\circ} C$ is compressed isothermally. Does it go through a liquid phase?
$(b)$ What happens when $CO_{2}$ at $4 \; atm$ pressure is cooled from room temperature at constant pressure?
$(c)$ Describe qualitatively the changes in a given mass of solid $CO_{2}$ at $10 \; atm$ pressure and temperature $-65^{\circ} C$ as it is heated up to room temperature at constant pressure.
$(d)$ $CO_{2}$ is heated to a temperature $70^{\circ} C$ and compressed isothermally. What changes in its properties do you expect to observe?

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)
