One mole of an ideal monatomic gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion in which its volume becomes eight times its initial value. If the initial temperature of the gas is 100K and the universal gas constant R=8.0 J mol-1 K-1, then how much is the decrease in its internal energy (in J) ?

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initial thermodynamic state at pressure Pi=105 Pa and volume Vi=10-3 m3 changes to a final state at Pf=132×105 Pa and Vf=8×10-3 m3 in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that P3V5= constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system from the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at Pi followed by an isochoric (isovolumetric) process at volumes Vf . The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two step process is approximately

An ideal monoatomic gas is confined in a horizontal cylinder by a spring loaded piston (as shown in the figure). Initially the gas is at temperature T1, pressure P1 and volume V1 and the spring is in its relaxed state. The gas is then heated very slowly to temperature T2, pressure P2 and volume V2 . During this process the piston moves out by a distance x. Ignoring the friction between the piston the cylinder, the correct statement(s) is (are)
