The volume of an ideal gas increases 8 times and temperature becomes (1/4)th of initial temperature during a reversible change. If there is no exchange of heat in this process ( Q = 0) then identify the gas from the following options (Assuming the gases given in the options are ideal gases) :

  1. NH3
  2. O2
  3. CO2
  4. He

Answer

(4) He

Solution

Q = 0 in a reversible change the process is adiabatic.

For an adiabatic process: TV - 1 = constant

T V - 1 = T4(8V) - 1

8 - 1 = 4

23( - 1) = 22

- 1 = 23

= 53, which is the value for a monatomic gas.

The gas is He.

[figure] A piston of mass M is hung from a massless spring whose restoring force law goes as F = -kx3, where k is the spring constant of appropriate dimension. The piston separates the vertical chamber into two parts, where the bottom part is filled with 'n' moles of an ideal gas. An external work is done on the gas isothermally (at a constant temperature T) with the help of a heating filament (with negligible volume) mounted in lower part of the chamber, so that the piston goes up from a height L0 to L1, the total energy delivered by the filament is: (Assume spring to be in its natural length before heating)

An ideal gas exists in a state with pressure P0, volume V0. It is isothermally expanded to 4 times of its initial volume (V0), then isobarically compressed to its original volume. Finally the system is heated isochorically to bring it to its initial state. The amount of heat exchanged in this process is

  1. P0V0( 2 - 0.75)
  2. P0V0(2 2 - 0.75)
  3. P0V0(2 2 - 0.25)
