Important Questions on Thermodynamics



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 , pressure and volume and the spring is in its relaxed state. The gas is then heated very slowly to temperature , pressure and volume . During this process, the piston moves out by a distance . Ignoring the friction between the piston and the cylinder, the correct statement(s) is(are)


One mole of a monatomic ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process as shown in the figure (where is the volume and is the temperature). Which of the statements below is (are) true ?

An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process which is shown by pressure-density curve.
