Answer the following by appropriately matching the lists based on the information given in the paragraph.
In a thermodynamics process on an ideal monatomic gas, the infinitesimal heat absorbed by the gas is given by

T Δ X,

where

T

is temperature of the system and

Δ X

is the infinitesimal change in a thermodynamic quantity

X

of the system. For a mole of monatomic ideal gas

X = \frac{3}{2} R l n (\frac{T}{T_{A}}) + R l n (\frac{V}{V_{A}}) .

Here,

R

is gas constant,

V
