(A) $1.$ True. For an adiabatic process,the relation between temperature $T$ and volume $V$ is given by $T V^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant}$.
$2.$ True. The charging of a battery is considered a reversible process if it is done infinitely slowly without any energy dissipation.
$3.$ False. Water falling from a height is an irreversible process because the kinetic energy gained is dissipated as heat due to friction and impact,which cannot be recovered.
$4.$ False. Internal energy,volume,and mass are extensive variables (they depend on the amount of matter),whereas pressure,temperature,and density are intensive variables (they are independent of the amount of matter).

Three samples of the same gas $A, B$ and $C$ $(\gamma = 3/2)$ have initially equal volume. Now the volume of each sample is doubled. The process is adiabatic for $A$,isobaric for $B$,and isothermal for $C$. If the final pressures are equal for all three samples,the ratio of their initial pressures is:

$3$ moles of an ideal monoatomic gas performs an $ABCDA$ cyclic process as shown in the figure below. The gas temperatures are $T_A=400 \, K$, $T_B=800 \, K$, $T_C=2400 \, K$, and $T_D=1200 \, K$. The work done by the gas is (approximately) $(R=8.314 \, J/mol \cdot K)$. (in $ \, kJ$)

One mole of an ideal gas undergoes two different cyclic processes $I$ and $II$,as shown in the $P-V$ diagrams below. In cycle $I$,processes $a, b, c$ and $d$ are isobaric,isothermal,isobaric and isochoric,respectively. In cycle $II$,processes $a^{\prime}, b^{\prime}, c^{\prime}$ and $d^{\prime}$ are isothermal,isochoric,isobaric and isochoric,respectively. The total work done during cycle $I$ is $W_I$ and that during cycle $II$ is $W_{II}$. The ratio $W_I / W_{II}$ is . . . .
