A cylinder with adiabatic walls is closed at both ends and is divided into two compartments by a frictionless adiabatic piston. Ideal gas is filled in both (left and right) the compartments at same P, V, T. Heating is started from left side until pressure changes to 27P8. If initial volume of each compartment was 9 litres then the final volume in right-hand side compartment is litres. (for this ideal gas CP/CV=1.5)

Answer

(2) 4

Solution

∵ The walls and the piston are adiabatic, no heat reaches the right-hand gas; the piston compresses it slowly ⇒ adiabatic process, PV = constant with =1.5

Frictionless piston ⇒ final pressure on the right = 27P8

P(9)1.5= 27P8 VR1.5

⇒ VR3/2= 827 (9)3/2= 827 27=8

∴ VR=82/3=4 litres

An ideal gas undergoes a process maintaining relation between pressure (P) and volume (V) as P=P0 (1+ ( V0V )2 )-1, where P0 and V0 are constants. If two samples A and B (two moles each) with initial volumes V0 and 3V0 respectively undergo above mentioned process and attain same pressure, then the difference in the temperatures of these samples, TB-TA is .
