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:

Fill in the blanks:
$1.$ The heat required to raise the temperature of a body by $1\,K$ is called ...... .
$2.$ $A$ temperature difference of $10\,^{\circ}C$ is equivalent to a temperature difference of ...... on the Fahrenheit temperature scale.
$3.$ For an isothermal process of an ideal gas,$\frac{dP}{P} = .........$

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?

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:

The figure shows the $P-V$ plot of an ideal gas taken through a cycle $ABCDA$. The part $ABC$ is a semi-circle and $CDA$ is half of an ellipse. Then,
$(A)$ the process during the path $A \rightarrow B$ is isothermal
$(B)$ heat flows out of the gas during the path $B \rightarrow C \rightarrow D$
$(C)$ work done during the path $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C$ is zero
$(D)$ positive work is done by the gas in the cycle $ABCDA$

$A$ cycle followed by an engine (made of one mole of perfect gas in a cylinder with a piston) is shown in the figure.
$A$ to $B$: volume constant
$B$ to $C$: adiabatic
$C$ to $D$: volume constant
$D$ to $A$: adiabatic
$V_C = V_D = 2V_A = 2V_B$
$(a)$ In which part of the cycle is heat supplied to the engine from outside?
$(b)$ In which part of the cycle is heat given to the surrounding by the engine?
$(c)$ What is the work done by the engine in one cycle? Write your answer in terms of $P_A, P_B, V_A$.
$(d)$ What is the efficiency of the engine?
$(\gamma = 5/3, C_v = 3/2 R$ for one mole of the gas$)$
