Three moles of an ideal gas are compressed isothermally from 60 L to 20 L using constant pressure of 5 atm. Heat exchange Q for the compression is – ________ Lit. atm. [2024]
(200)
By first law of thermodynamics:
For isothermal process, so
An ideal gas, is expanded adiabatically against a constant pressure of 1 atm until it doubles in volume. If the initial temperature and pressure is 298 K and 5 atm, respectively then the final temperature is __________ K (nearest integer). [ is the molar heat capacity at constant volume] [2024]

Work done (W) by gas against a constant pressure is given by:
...(i)
Change in internal energy () for an ideal gas undergoing any process is:
...(ii)
By first law of thermodynamics:
Since q = 0 for an adiabatic process,
Put from (ii) and W from (i)
...(iii)
Apply ideal gas equation at initial conditions,
...(iv)
Put V from (iv) in (iii)
