An ideal gas undergoes four different processes from the same initial state as shown in the figure below. Those processes are adiabatic, isothermal, isobaric and isochoric. The curve which represents the adiabatic process among 1, 2, 3 and 4 is [figure]

An ideal gas follows a process described by the equation PV2 = C from the initial (P1, V1, T1) to final (P2, V2, T2) thermodynamic states, where C is a constant. Then

1. If P1 > P2 then V1 > V2
2. If P1 > P2 then T1 < T2
3. If V2 > V1 then T2 > T1
4. If V2 > V1 then T2 < T1

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 :

1. adiabatic
2. isochoric
3. isobaric
4. isothermal

In which of the following processes, heat is neither absorbed nor released by a system?

1. adiabatic
2. isobaric
3. isochoric
4. isothermal

A sample of 0.1 g of water at 100°C and normal pressure (1.013 105 N m-2) requires 54 cal of heat energy to convert to steam at 100°C. If the volume of the steam produced is 167.1 cc, the change in internal energy of the sample, is

1. 104.3 J
2. 208.7 J
3. 42.2 J
4. 84.5 J

The volume (V) of a monatomic gas varies with its temperature (T), as shown in the graph. The ratio of work done by the gas, to the heat absorbed by it, when it undergoes a change from state A to state B, is [figure]
