The ratio of the specific heat capacities of a gas is $1.5$. When the gas undergoes an adiabatic process, its volume is doubled and its pressure becomes $P_1$. When the gas undergoes an isothermal process, its volume is doubled and its pressure becomes $P_2$. If $P_1 = P_2$, what is the ratio of the initial pressures of the gas when it undergoes adiabatic and isothermal processes?

  • A
    $\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $1: 1$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3}: 1$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2}: 1$

One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas undergoes the following four reversible processes:
Step $1$: It is first compressed adiabatically from volume $8.0 \, m^{3}$ to $1.0 \, m^{3}$.
Step $2$: Then expanded isothermally at temperature $T_{1}$ to volume $10.0 \, m^{3}$.
Step $3$: Then expanded adiabatically to volume $80.0 \, m^{3}$.
Step $4$: Then compressed isothermally at temperature $T_{2}$ to volume $8.0 \, m^{3}$.
Then,$T_{1} / T_{2}$ 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 is taken through a cyclic process with alternating isothermal and adiabatic curves. In the $P-V$ diagram, $AB, CD, EF$ are isothermal curves at absolute temperatures $T_1, T_2,$ and $T_3$ respectively, and $BC, DE,$ and $FA$ are adiabatic curves. If $\frac{V_B}{V_A} = 2$ and $\frac{V_D}{V_C} = 2$, then for the cycle shown in the figure, four statements are made below. (Figure is not drawn to scale)
Statement $1$: Ratio of volumes $\frac{V_E}{V_F} = 4$
Statement $2$: Magnitude of work done in isothermal compression $EF$ is $2RT_3 \ln(2)$
Statement $3$: Ratio of heat supplied to the gas in process $AB$ to heat rejected by the gas in process $EF$ is $\frac{T_1}{T_3}$
Statement $4$: Net work done by the gas in the cycle $ABCDEFA$ is $(T_1 + T_2 - 2T_3) R \ln(2)$
Find the number of correct statements given for the cyclic process followed by the gas.

$A$ real gas within a closed chamber at $27^{\circ} C$ undergoes a cyclic process $A \to B \to C \to A$. For the path $A \to B$, the gas follows the equation $PV^3 = RT$. For the path $B \to C$, the process is isobaric at $P = 10 \, Pa$ from $V = 4 \, m^3$ to $V = 2 \, m^3$. For the path $C \to A$, the process is isochoric at $V = 2 \, m^3$. Given $R = 8 \, J/mol \cdot K$ and $T = 300 \, K$ (constant for path $A \to B$), the net work done in the complete cycle is (in $J$):

An ideal monoatomic gas is carried along the cycle $ABCDA$ as shown in the figure. The total heat absorbed during this process is (in $p_0 V_0$)
