A certain gas is isothermally compressed to ( 13 )rd of its initial volume (V0=3 litre) by applying required pressure. If the bulk modulus of the gas is 3 105 N/m2, the magnitude of work done on the gas is J.

A cylinder with adiabatic walls is closed at both ends and is divided into two compartments by a frictionless adiabatic piston. Ideal gas is filled in both (left and right) the compartments at same P, V, T. Heating is started from left side until pressure changes to 27P8. If initial volume of each compartment was 9 litres then the final volume in right-hand side compartment is litres. (for this ideal gas CP/CV=1.5)

An ideal gas undergoes a process maintaining relation between pressure (P) and volume (V) as P=P0 (1+ ( V0V )2 )-1, where P0 and V0 are constants. If two samples A and B (two moles each) with initial volumes V0 and 3V0 respectively undergo above mentioned process and attain same pressure, then the difference in the temperatures of these samples, TB-TA is . (R = gas constant)

A vessel contains 0.15 m3 of a gas at pressure 8 bar and temperature 140 °C with cp=3R and cv=2R. It is expanded adiabatically till pressure falls to 1 bar. The work done during this process is kJ. (R is gas constant)

5 moles of unknown gas is heated at constant volume from 10 °C to 20 °C. The molar specific heat of this gas at constant pressure cp = 8 cal/mol.°C and R = 8.36 J/mol.°C. The change in the internal energy of the gas is calorie.
