One mole of an ideal gas is contained with in a cylinder by a frictionless piston and is initially at temperature $T$. The pressure of the gas is kept constant while it is heated and its volume doubles. If $R$ is molar gas constant, the work done by the gas in increasing its volume is
A$RT\, ln2$
B$1/2 \,\,RT$
C$RT$
D$3/2\,\, RT$

C$RT$
c Expression for work done is given by.
$W=P \Delta V$
Given that
$\mathrm{P}=$ Constant
And volume is doubled from initial position.
$W=P(2 V-V)$
$=P V$
But, by ldeal gas equation $P V=n R T$
For $1$ mole gas, $P V=R T$
$\Rightarrow W=R T$

$300 \,cal$. of heat is given to a heat engine and it rejects $225 \,cal$. of heat. If source temperature is $227^{\circ} C$, then the temperature of sink will be____${ }^{\circ} C$.
A total of $48 \mathrm{~J}$ heat is given to one mole of helium kept in a cylinder. The temperature of helium increases by $2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The work done by the gas is : (Given, $\mathrm{R}=8.3 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.)
In a cyclic process, a gas is taken from state $A$ to $B$ via path $-I$ as shown in the indicator diagram and taken back to state $A$ from state $B$ via path $-II$ . In the complete cycle
A vessel containing $5\, litres$ of a gas at $0.8 \,pa$ pressure is connected to an evacuated vessel of volume $3$ litres. The resultant pressure inside will be ...... $pa$ (assuming whole system to be isolated)
