The change in internal energy of a given mass of a gas,when its volume changes from $V$ to $3V$ at constant pressure $P$,is (where $\gamma$ is the ratio of the specific heat capacities of the gas).

One mole of diatomic gas having rotational modes only is kept in a cylinder with a piston system. The cross-section area of the cylinder is $4 \text{ cm}^2$. The gas is heated slowly to raise the temperature by $1.2^\circ\text{C}$ during which the piston moves by $25 \text{ mm}$. The amount of heat supplied to the gas is . . . . . . $J$. (Atmospheric pressure = $100 \text{ kPa}$, $R = 8.3 \text{ J/mol}\cdot\text{K}$) (Neglect mass of the piston)

Thermodynamic processes are indicated in the following diagram. Match the following:

Column-$1$	Column-$2$
$P$: Process-$I$	$A$: Adiabatic
$Q$: Process-$II$	$B$: Isobaric
$R$: Process-$III$	$C$: Isochoric
$S$: Process-$IV$	$D$: Isothermal

During the melting of a slab of ice at $273 \, K$ at atmospheric pressure,

What is an isochoric process and a cyclic process? Write the first law of thermodynamics for an ideal gas.

Air in a cylinder is suddenly compressed by a piston,which is then maintained at the same position. With the passage of time,
