Two cylinders \(A\) and \(B\) of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stop cock. A contains an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure. \(B\) is completely evacuated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stop cock is suddenly opened. The process is:

2. isochoric
3. isobaric
4. isothermal

3. | isobaric | 4. | isothermal |
\(1~\text g\) of water of volume \(1~\text{cm}^3\) at \(100^\circ \text{C}\) is converted into steam at the same temperature under normal atmospheric pressure \(\approx 1\times10^{5}~\text{Pa}.\) The volume of steam formed equals \(1671~\text{cm}^3.\) If the specific latent heat of vaporization of water is \(2256~\text{J/g},\) the change in internal energy is:
1. \(2423~\text J\)
2. \(2089~\text J\)
3. \(167~\text J\)
4. \(2256~\text J\)
An ideal gas goes from state \(A\) to state \(B\) via three different processes as indicated in the \((P\text-V)\) diagram.
If \(Q_1,Q_2,Q_3\) indicate the heat absorbed by the gas along the three processes and \(\Delta U_1, \Delta U_2, \Delta U_3\) indicate the change in internal energy along the three processes respectively, then:
1. | \(Q_3>Q_2>Q_1\) and \(\Delta U_1= \Delta U_2= \Delta U_3\) |
2. | \(Q_1=Q_2=Q_3\) and \(\Delta U_1> \Delta U_2> \Delta U_3\) |
3. | \(Q_3>Q_2>Q_1\) and \(\Delta U_1> \Delta U_2> \Delta U_3\) |
4. | \(Q_1>Q_2>Q_3\) and \(\Delta U_1= \Delta U_2= \Delta U_3\) |
