Can two isothermal curves cut each other?

1.	Never
2.	Yes
3.	They will cut when the temperature is 0°C.
4.	Yes, when the pressure is equal to the critical pressure.

The latent heat of vaporisation of water is \(2240~\text{J/gm}\). If the work done in the process of expansion of \(1~\text{g}\) is \(168~\text{J}\), then the increase in internal energy is:
1. \(2408~\text{J}\)
2. \(2240~\text{J}\)
3. \(2072~\text{J}\)
4. \(1904~\text{J}\)

An ideal gas at \(27^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) is compressed adiabatically to $\frac{8}{27}$ of its original volume. If $\gamma =\frac{5}{3}$, then the rise in temperature will be:
1. 450 K
2. 375 K
3. 225 K
4. 405 K

A polyatomic gas \(\left(\gamma = \frac{4}{3}\right)\) is compressed to \(\frac{1}{8}\) of its volume adiabatically. If its initial pressure is \(P_0,\) its new pressure will be:

A unit mass of a liquid with volume V₁ is completely changed into a gas of volume V₂ at a constant external pressure P and temperature T. If the latent heat of evaporation for the given mass is L, then the increase in the internal energy of the system is: 
1.  Zero
2. $P(V_2-V_1)$
3. $L-P(V_2-V_1)$
4.  L

An ideal heat engine working between temperatures T₁ and T₂ has an efficiency η. The new efficiency if both the source and sink temperatures are doubled will be:
1. $\frac{\eta }{2}$
2. η
3. 2η
4. 3η

A monoatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature \(T_1\), is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature \(T_2\) by releasing the piston suddenly. If \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion, respectively, then \(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\) is given by:
1. \(\left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\)
2. \(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\)
3. \(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\)
4. \(\left(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\)

An insulator container contains 4 moles of an ideal diatomic gas at a temperature T. If heat Q is supplied to this gas, due to which 2 moles of the gas are dissociated into atoms, but the temperature of the gas remains constant, then:
1. Q = 2RT
2. Q = RT
3. Q = 3RT
4. Q = 4RT

The volume of air (diatomic) increases by \(5\%\) in its adiabatical expansion. The percentage decrease in its pressure will be:

Two Carnot engines A and B are operated in succession. The first one, A receives heat from a source at \(T_1=800\) K and rejects to sink at \(T_2\) K. The second engine, B, receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink at \(T_3=300\) K. If the work outputs of the two engines are equal, then the value of \(T_2\) will be:
