When one mole of an ideal gas is compressed to half of its initial volume and simultaneously heated to twice its initial temperature, the change in entropy of gas (DelataS) is:

An ideal gas at pressure 2.5 xx 10^(5) pa and temperture 300k occupies 100 cc . It is adiabatically compressed to half its original volume. Calculate (a) the final pressure, (b) the final temperature and ( c) the work done by the gas in the peocess. Take (gamma = 1.5) .

n moles of an ideal mono atomic gas is initially at pressure 32 P_(0) and volume V_(0) . Its volume is doubled by an isobaric process. After this the gas is adiabatically expanded so as to make its volume 16V_(0) . Now the gas is isobarically expanded. Finally, the gas is made to return to its initial state by an isothermal process. (a) Represent the process on a P–V diagram. (b) Calculate work done by the gas in one cycle.

Five moles of neon gas (molecular weight=20) at 2 atm and 27^@C is adiabatically compressed to one-third its initial volume. Find the final pressure, the temperature and the work done on the gas.
