  • Q1 · Kinetic Theory & Thermodynamics · MEDIUM

    An ideal diatomic gas undergoes a process where its pressure varies with volume as P = αV, where α is a positive constant. The molar heat capacity of the gas in this process is:

  • Q2 · Kinetic Theory & Thermodynamics · EASY

    An ideal diatomic gas undergoes an isobaric process. If 350 J of heat is supplied to the gas, the work done by the gas is:

  • Q3 · Kinetic Theory & Thermodynamics · MEDIUM

    An ideal diatomic gas undergoes an adiabatic process where its volume becomes 32 times its initial volume. If the initial temperature is 300 K, the final temperature is (γ = 7/5):

  • Q4 · Kinetic Theory & Thermodynamics · EASY

    An ideal diatomic gas undergoes an adiabatic process in which its volume becomes 32 times its initial volume. If the initial temperature is 300 K, the final temperature is:

  • Q5 · Kinetic Theory & Thermodynamics · MEDIUM

    An ideal monoatomic gas undergoes a process in which its pressure P and volume V are related as PV² = constant. If the gas is heated so that its temperature increases from T to 2T, the work done by the gas is:
