Section-B
Question 2:
Answer the following questions.
a) 5000 J of heat are added to two moles of an ideal monatomic gas, while the gas performs 7500 J of
work. What is the change in internal energy of the gas? (3)
b) Compute the internal energy change for the two processes involving 1 mole of an ideal monatomic
gas and mention either its increased or decreased.
1. 1500 J of heat are added to the gas and the gas does no work and no work is done on the
gas.
2. 1500 J of work are done on the gas and the gas does no work and no heat is added or taken
away from the gas (7)

Question 3:
An ideal gas initially has pressure P0, volume V0, and absolute temperature T0. It then undergoes the
following series of processes:
I. It is heated, at constant volume, until it reaches a pressure 2P0.
II. It is heated, at constant pressure, until it reaches a volume 3V0.
III. It is cooled, at constant volume, until it reaches a pressure P0.
IV. It is cooled, at constant pressure, until it reaches a volume V0.
a) On the axes below, draw the P-V diagram representing the series of processes. (4)
b) Find the temperature at the end of each process. (4)
c) Write the name of the process involved in process II and III. (2)
