1.	An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in the maximum work done on the gas ?
Answer» Isothermal Adiabatic Isobaric ISOCHORIC Solution :Work DONE on the gas in isochoric process `W_"isochoric"=0` and in adiabatic process , Area under the graph REPRESENTS the work done by an ideal gas. Here, area obtained MAXIMUM for adiabatic process, hence the work is maximum.
