    Following figure shows on adiabatic cylindrical container of volume ${V_0}$ divided by an adiabatic smooth piston (area of cross-section = $A$ ) in two equal parts. An ideal gas $({C_P}/{C_V} = \gamma )$ is at pressure $P_1$ and temperature $T_1$ in left part and gas at pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$ in right part. The piston is slowly displaced and released at a position where it can stay in equilibrium. The final pressure of the two parts will be (Suppose $ x$ = displacement of the piston)

    Two identical containers $A$ and $B$ with frictionless pistons contain the same ideal gas at the same temperature and the same volume $V$. The mass of the gas in $A$ is ${m_A}$ and that in $B$ is ${m_B}$. The gas in each cylinder is now allowed to expand isothermally to the same final volume $2V$. The changes in the pressure in $A$ and $B$ are found to be $\Delta P$ and $1.5  \Delta P$ respectively. Then

    An ideal gas expands from volume $V_1$ to $V_2$. This may be achieved by either of the three processes: isobaric, isothermal and adiabatic. Let $\Delta U$ be the change in internal energy of the gas, $Q$ be the quantity of heat added to the system and $W$ be the work done by the system on the gas. Identify which of the following statements is false for $\Delta U$?
