A gas occupies 0.6 dm^(3) under a pressure of 0.92 bar. Find under what pressure, the volume of gas will be reduced by 20 precent of its original volume, temperature remaining constant.

Two moles of a certain ideal gas at 300K is cooled at constant volume so that the pressure is reduced to half the original value. Now the gas is heated at constant pressure so that its temperature becomes equal to the initial temperature. Find the total amount of heat absorbed by the gas in the process.

Certain volume of a gas exerts on its walls some pressure at a particular temperature. It has been observed that by reducing the volume of the gas to half of its original value the pressure becomes twice that of its initial value at constant temperature. This happens because
