An engine takes in $5$ moles of air at $20\,^{\circ} C$ and $1$ $atm,$ and compresses it adiabaticaly to $1 / 10^{\text {th }}$ of the original volume. Assuming air to be a diatomic ideal gas made up of rigid molecules, the change in its internal energy during this process comes out to be $X\, kJ$. The value of $X$ to the nearest integer is

Consider that an ideal gas ($n$ moles) is expanding in a process given by $P = f (V)$, which passes through a point $(V_0, \,p_0)$. Show that the gas is absorbing heat at $(p_0,\, V_0)$ if the slope of the curve $P = f (V)$ is larger than the slope of the adiabatic passing through $(p_0,\, V_0)$.
