The change in the internal energy of a mass of gas,when the volume changes from $V$ to $2V$ at constant pressure $P$,is (where $\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heat of gas at constant pressure to specific heat at constant volume):

  • A
    $\frac{PV}{\gamma-1}$
  • B
    $\frac{PV}{\gamma+1}$
  • C
    $\frac{\gamma-1}{PV}$
  • D
    $\frac{\gamma+1}{PV}$

$A$ diatomic gas has an initial internal energy of $80 cal$. $A$ work of $18 cal$ is done on the gas and the gas releases heat energy of $42 J$. The final internal energy of the gas is

Consider $1 \,kg$ of liquid water undergoing a change in phase to water vapour at $100^{\circ} C$. At $100^{\circ} C$,the vapour pressure is $1.01 \times 10^5 \,N m^{-2}$ and the latent heat of vaporization is $22.6 \times 10^5 \,J kg^{-1}$. The density of liquid water is $10^3 \,kg m^{-3}$ and that of vapour is $\frac{1}{1.8} \,kg m^{-3}$. The change in internal energy in this phase change is nearly ............ $J kg^{-1}$.
