Which of the following graphs represent the behaviour of an ideal gas? Symbols have their usual meaning.
A container is divided into two chambers by a partition. The volume of first chamber is $4.5\mathrm{litre}$ and second chamber is $5.5\mathrm{litre}$. The first chamber contain $3.0$ moles of gas at pressure $2.0\mathrm{atm}$ and second chamber contain $4.0$ moles of gas at pressure $3.0\mathrm{atm}$. After the partition is removed and the mixture attains equilibrium, then, the common equilibrium pressure existing in the mixture is $x\times {10}^{-1}\mathrm{atm}$. Value of $x$ (nearest integer) is
If one mole of an ideal gas at $({P}_{1},{V}_{1})$ is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally ($A$ to $B$) its pressure is reduced to one-half of the original pressure (see figure). This is followed by a constant volume cooling till its pressure is reduced to one-fourth of the initial value $(B\rightarrow C).$ Then it is restored to its initial state by a reversible adiabatic compression ($C$ to $A$). The net workdone by the gas is equal to:
