One mole of an ideal gas goes from an initial state A to final state B via two processes. It first undergoes isothermal expansion from volume V to 3V and then its volume is reduced from 3V to V at constant pressure. The correct p-V diagram representing the two processes is
A thermodynamic system is taken through the cycle ABCD as shown in a figure. Heat rejected by the gas during the cycle is
2 pV
4 pV
1/2 pV
1/2 pV
The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by CP and CV respectively. If 
and R is the universal gas constant, then CV is equal to

When 1 kg of ice at 0oC melts to water 0oC, the resulting change in its entropy, taking latent heat of ice to be 80 cal/oC, is
8 x 104 cal /K
80 cal/K
293 cal/ K
293 cal/ K
During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does - 150 J of work against its surroundings. This implies that
300 J of heat has been added to the gas
no heat is transferred because the process is isothermal
150 J of heat has been added to the gas
150 J of heat has been added to the gas
4.0 g of a gas occupies 22.4 L at NTP. The specific heat capacity of the gas at constant volume is 5.0 JK-1 mol-1. If the speed of sound in this gas at NTP is 952 ms-1, then the heat capacity at constant pressure is.
(Take gas constant R = 8.3 Jk-1 mol-1)
8.0 JK-1mol-1
7.5 JK-1mol-1
7.0 JK-1mol-1
7.0 JK-1mol-1
