Q. No.\(n\) moles of a perfect gas undergoes a cyclic process ABCA (see figure) consisting of the following processes.
| \(A\rightarrow B\) | Isothermal expansion at temperature \(T\) so that the volume is doubled from \(V_1\) to \(V_2=2V_1\) and pressure changes from \(P_1\) to \(P_2.\) |
| \(B\rightarrow C\) | Isobaric compression at pressure \(P_2\) to initial volume \(V_1\). |
| \(C\rightarrow A\) | Isochoric change leading to change of pressure from \(P_2\) to \(P_1\). |
Total work done in the complete cycle \(ABCA\) is:
1. \(0\)
2. \(nRT(\ln 2-\frac{1}{2})\)
3. \(nRT\ln 2\)
4. \(nRT(\ln 2+\frac{1}{2})\)

The same amount of heat is supplied to equimolar masses of hydrogen and helium, under constant pressure. The work done by the two gases, \(H_2\) and \(He,\) are \(W_1\) and \(W_2.\) Then:
| 1. | \(W_1>W_2\) |
| 2. | \(W_1<W_2\) |
| 3. | \(W_1=W_2\) |
| 4. | \(W_1\) and \(W_2\) cannot be compared unless the temperatures are known. |

An ideal monoatomic gas at a temperature of \(300\) K and a pressure of \(10\) atm is suddenly allowed to expand into vacuum so that its volume is doubled. No exchange of heat is allowed to take place between the gas and its surroundings during the process. After equilibrium is reached, the final temperature is:
| 1. | \(300\) K | 2. | \(\dfrac{300}{2^{5/3}}\) K |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{300}{2^{2/3}}\) K | 4. | \(600\) K |

Two monoatomic gases \(A,B\) are taken in two parts of a vessel having equal volumes \(V_0.\) The gases are at the same pressure \(P_0\) but at temperature of \(300~\text K\) and \(600~\text K.\) There is a partition between the parts of the vessel. The partition is removed, and the gases are allowed to mix. The vessel, as a whole, is insulated. The final temperature of the system is:
1. \(450~\text K\)
2. \(400~\text K\)
3. \(500~\text K\)
4. \(550~\text K\)

| 1. | same as the \(1^{\text{st}}\) case. |
| 2. | always greater than the \(1^{\text{st}}\) case. |
