A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then

${V_1} = V,{V_2} = V/2$

$On\,P - V\,diagram,$

$Area\,under\,adiabatic\,curve>Area\,under\,isothermal\,curve,$

So compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.

    An engine takes in $5$ moles of air at $20\,^{\circ} C$ and $1$ $atm,$ and compresses it adiabaticaly to $1 / 10^{\text {th }}$ of the original volume. Assuming air to be a diatomic ideal gas made up of rigid molecules, the change in its internal energy during this process comes out to be $X\, kJ$. The value of $X$ to the nearest integer is

    A container of volume $1{m^3}$is divided into two equal compartments by a partition. One of these compartments contains an ideal gas at $300 K$. The other compartment is vacuum. The whole system is thermally isolated from its surroundings. The partition is removed and the gas expands to occupy the whole volume of the container. Its temperature now would be ..... $K$
