The figure below shows two paths that may be taken by gas to go from state \(A\) to state \(C.\) 
                    
In process \(AB,\) \(400~\text{J}\) of heat is added to the system, and in process \(BC,\)  \(100~\text{J}\) of heat is added to the system. The heat absorbed by the system in the process \(AC\) will be:
1. \(380~\text{J}\)
2. \(500~\text{J}\)
3. \(460~\text{J}\)
4. \(300~\text{J}\)

The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by \(C_P\) and \(C_V,\) respectively. If \(\gamma =\frac{C_P}{C_V}\) and \(R\) is the universal gas constant, then \(C_V\) is equal to:
1. \(\dfrac{R}{\gamma -1}\) 2. \(\dfrac{\gamma -1}{R}\)
3. \(\gamma R \) 4. \(\dfrac{\left ( \gamma -1 \right )R}{\left ( \gamma +1 \right )}\)

One mole of an ideal gas goes from an initial state \(A\) to the final state \(B\) with two processes. It first undergoes isothermal expansion from volume \(V\) to \(3V\) and then its volume is reduced from \(3V\) to \(V\) at constant pressure. The correct \((P-V)\) diagram representing the two processes is:

1. 2.
3. 4.

During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does -150 J of work against its surrounding. This implies that:

1. 300 J of heat has been added to the gas.
2. no heat is transferred because the process is isothermal.
3. 150 J of heat has been added to the gas.
4. 150 J of heat has been removed from the gas.
