An ideal gas goes from state $A$ to state $B$ via three different processes as indicated in the $P-V$ diagram. If $Q_1, Q_2, Q_3$ indicate the heat absorbed by the gas along the three processes and $\Delta U_1, \Delta U_2, \Delta U_3$ 
indicate the change in internal energy along the three processes respectively, then 
  • A${Q_1} < {Q_2} < {Q_3}$ and $\Delta U_1=\Delta U_2=\Delta U_3$
  • B${Q_1} < {Q_2} = {Q_3}$ and $\Delta U_1 > \Delta U_2 > \Delta U_3$
  • C${Q_1} = {Q_2} > {Q_3}$ and $\Delta U_1 > \Delta U_2 > \Delta U_3$
  • D${Q_1} > {Q_2} > {Q_3}$ and $\Delta U_1 = \Delta U_2 = \Delta U_3$

    One mole of an ideal gas expands adiabatically from an initial state $\left(T_A, V_0\right)$ to final state $\left(T_f, 5 V_0\right)$. Another mole of the same gas expands isothermally from a different initial state ( $T_{\mathrm{B}}, \mathrm{V}_0$ ) to the same final state $\left(T_{\mathrm{f}}, 5 V_0\right)$. The ratio of the specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume of this ideal gas is $\gamma$. What is the ratio $T_{\mathrm{A}} / T_{\mathrm{B}}$ ?

    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 ..... $K$
