The pressure P 1 and density d 1 of diatomic gas ( γ = 7 5 ) changes suddenly to P 2 ( > P 1 ) and d 2 respectively during an adiabatic process. The temperature of the gas increases and becomes ________ times of its initial temperature. (given d 2   d 1 = 32 )

Correct answer is (4)

P 1 V 1 γ = P 2 V 2 2

P 1 d 1 γ = P 2 d 2 γ

d 1 T 1 d 1 γ = d 2 T 2 d 2 γ

T 2 = ( d 2 d 1 ) γ 1 T 1

= ( 32 ) 2 5 T 1

T 2 = 4 T 1

One mole of an ideal gas is taken through an adiabatic process where the temperature rises from 27 C to 37 C. If the ideal gas is composed of polyatomic molecule that has 4 vibrational modes, which of the following is true? [R = 8.314 J mol 1 k 1]

(A) work done by the gas is close to 332 J

(B) work done on the gas is close to 582 J

(C) work done by the gas is close to 582 J

(D) work done on the gas is close to 332 J

Correct answer is (B)

Since, each vibrational mode, corresponds to two degrees of freedom, hence, f = 3 (trans.) + 3 (rot.) + 4 × 2 (vib.) = 14

& γ = 1 + 2 f

γ = 1 + 2 14 = 8 7

W = n R Δ T γ 1 = 582

As W < 0. work is done on the gas.

Choose the correct option out of the following for work done if processes BC and DA are adiabatic.

(A) WAB = WDC

(B) WAD = WBC

(C) WBC + WDA > 0

(D) WAB < WCD

Correct answer is (B)

Work done in adiabatic process = n R γ 1 ( T f T i )

W A D = n R γ 1 ( T 2 T 1 )

and W B C = n R γ 1 ( T 2 T 1 )

W A D = W B C

A monoatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature T1 is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature T2 by releasing the piston suddenly. If l1 and l2 are the lengths of the gas column, before and after the expansion respectively, then the value of T 1 T 2 will be :

(A) ( l 1 l 2 ) 2 3

(B) ( l 2 l 1 ) 2 3

(C) l 2 l 1

(D) l 1 l 2

Correct answer is (B)

PVr = const.

TVr 1 = const.

T ( l ) 5 3 1 = const.

T 1 T 2 = ( l 2 l 1 ) 2 3

20. (JEE Main 2021 (Online) 18th March Evening Shift )

For an adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas, the fractional change in its pressure is equal to (where γ is the ratio of specific heats) :

(A) 1 γ d V V

(B) γ V d V

(C) γ d V V

(D) d V V

Correct answer is (C)

for adiabatic expansion :

PV γ = const.

ln P + γ ln v = const.

differentiating both sides;

d p p + γ d v v = 0

d p p = γ d v V
