A certain ideal gas has molar heat capacity at constant volume CV. A sample of this gas initially occupies a volume V0 at pressure p0 and absolute temperature T0. The gas expands isobarically to a volume 2V0, then expands further adiabatically to a final volume of 4V0.

Draw a PV diagram for the squence of process.

Explanation:

The processes are described on the image attached below. The isobaric process consists of an horizontal line, the adiabatic expansion is described by a polytropic curve:

Where:

Final pressure is:

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
