An ideal gas heat engine operates in a Carnot cycle between 227ºC and 127ºC. It absorbs 6 × 10⁴ cals of heat at higher temperatures. The amount of heat converted to work will be?
1. 4.8 × 10⁴ cals
2. 2.4 × 10⁴ cals
3. 1.2 × 10⁴ cals
4. 6 × 10⁴ cals

When volume changes from \(V\) to \(2V\) at constant pressure(\(P\)), the change in internal energy will be:
1. \(PV\)
2. \(3PV\)
3. \(\frac{PV}{\gamma -1}\)
4. \(\frac{RV}{\gamma -1}\)

If a gas changes volume from 2 litres to 10 litres at a constant temperature of 300K, then the change in its internal energy will be:

We consider a thermodynamic system. If ∆U represents the increase in its internal energy and W the work done by the system, which of the following statements is true?

The initial pressure and volume of a gas are P and V respectively. First, its volume is expanded to 4V by an isothermal process and then compressed adiabatically to volume V. The final pressure will be (γ = 1.5):
1.  8P
2.  4P
3.  P
4.  2P

One mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of \(T\) K does \(6R\) joules of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is \(5/3\), the final temperature of the gas will be:
1. \((T-2.4)\) K
2. \((T+4)\) K
3. \((T-4)\) K
4. \((T+2.4)\) K

Which one of the following processes is reversible?

A monoatomic gas at pressure P₁ and volume V₁ is compressed adiabatically to 1/8th its original volume. What is the final pressure of the gas?

1. P₁

2. 16 P₁

3. 32 P₁

4. 64 P₁

At a pressure of \(2\) atmospheres, a mass of diatomic gas \((\gamma = 1.4)\), is compressed adiabatically, causing its temperature to rise from \(27^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) to \(927^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The pressure of the gas in the final state is:
1. 8 atm
2. 28 atm
3. 68.7 atm
4. 256 atm

An ideal gas goes from state \(A\) to state \(B\) via three different processes as indicated in the \((P\text-V)\) diagram.

  
If \(Q_1,Q_2,Q_3\)${\mathrm{}}_{}$ 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:
