A certain mass of a gas is compressed first adiabatically, and then isothermally. In both cases, the initial state of the gas is the same. Is the work done `W_(1)` in the first case greater than the work done `W_(2)` in the second case ? Explain.

A gas is first compressed adiabatically and then isothermally. In both cases, the initial state of the gas is the same. Find in which case more work is done on the gas.

A certain mass of nitrogen was compressed eta = 5.0 times (in terms of volume), first adiabatically, and then isothermally. In both cases the initial state of the gas was the same. Find the ratio of the respective works expended in each compression.

5.6 liter of helium gas at STP is adiabatically compressed to 0.7 liter. Taking the initial temperature to be T_1, the work done in the process is

A spring, which is initially in its unstretched condition, is first stretched by a length x and then again by a further length x. The work done in the first case is W_(1) and in the second case is W_(2) .

If a certain mass of gas is made to undergo separately adiabatic and isothermal expansions to the same pressure, starting form the same initial conditions of temperature and pressure, then, as compared to that of isothermal expansion, in the case of adiabatic expansion, the final

At N.T.P. one mole of diatomic gas is compressed adiabatically to half of its volume lambda=1.41. The work done on gas will be

400 J of work is done on a gas to reduce its volume by compression adiabatically. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?

Let Q and W denote the amount of heat given to an ideal gas the work done by it in an adiabatic process.
