Ten questions. The result tells you which lessons you may skip.

1

A pressure cooker on a flame has its whistle held down, so no steam escapes. The water and steam inside form

2

A gas is compressed at a steady \(200\,\text{kPa}\) from \(6\,\text{L}\) to \(4\,\text{L}\). The work done by the gas is

3

The net work done by a gas in a cycle traced clockwise on the \(p\)-\(V\) diagram is

4

A gas takes in \(600\,\text{J}\) of heat and does \(250\,\text{J}\) of work. Its internal energy

5

A gas goes from state A to state B by two different paths. The quantity that must be the same for both is

6

A diatomic ideal gas is heated at constant pressure. The fraction of the heat that becomes work is

7

One mole of an ideal gas at \(300\,\text{K}\) expands isothermally from \(10\,\text{L}\) to \(20\,\text{L}\). The heat it takes in is about

8

Air (\(\gamma = 1.4\)) at \(300\,\text{K}\) is compressed adiabatically to \(1/32\) of its volume. Its temperature becomes

9

Through the same state on a \(p\)-\(V\) diagram, the adiabat of a gas is

10

An ideal gas expands freely into a vacuum inside a rigid insulated box. Its temperature
