Which of the following relations does not give the equation of an
adiabatic process, where terms have their usual meaning?
(A)
P1 T = constant
(B)
PV = constant
(C)

Correct answer is (D)
For an adiabatic process,

According to ideal gas equation
Putting value of P in (i), we get
= constant; = constant
Again from the ideal gas equation
Putting value of V in (i), we get
= constant; = constant

One mole of an ideal gas goes from an initial state A to final
state B via two processes : It first undergoes isothermal expansion from volume V to 3V and then its volume
is reduced from 3V to V at constant pressure. The correct P-V diagram representing the two process is
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Correct answer is (D)
From the above P-V diagrams, (d) is correct, as from the question, the initial gas goes from
volume V to 3V and then volume of the gas get reduced from 3V to V at constant pressure. In case
of an isothermal expansion, P-V curve is rectangular hyperbola which is stated by (d).

A mass of diatomic gas at a pressure of 2 atmospheres is compressed
adiabatically so that its temperature rises from 27oC to 927oC. The pressure of the
gas in the final state is
(A)
8 atm
(B)
28 atm
(C)
68.7 atm
(D)
256 atm
Correct answer is (D)
T1 = 273 + 27 = 300K
T2 = 273 + 927 = 1200K
For adiabatic process,

During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does
150 J of work against its surroundings. This implies
that
(A)
150 J of heat has been removed from the gas
(B)
300 J of heat has been added to the gas
(C)
no heat is transferred because the process is isothermal
(D)
150 J of heat has been added to the gas
Correct answer is (D)
If a process is expansion then work done is positive so answer
will be (a).
But in question work done by gas is given –150J so that according to it
answer will be (d).

In thermodynamic processes which of the following statements is not
true ?
(A)
In an isochoric process pressure remains constant.
(B)
In an isothermal process the temperature remains constant.
(C)
In an adiabatic process PV = constant.
(D)
In an adiabatic process the system is insulated from the surroundings.
Correct answer is (A)
The only statement which is not true is statement (a). A
process in which the pressure remains constant is called isobaric process and not isochoric as
in isochoric process the volume remains constant.

If Q, E and W denote respectively the heat added, change in
internal energy and the work done in a closed cyclic process, then
(A)
E = 0
(B)
Q = 0
(C)
W = 0
(D)
Q = W = 0
Correct answer is (A)
Internal energy depends only on the initial and final states
of temperature and not on the path. In a cyclic process, as initial and final states are the
same, change in internal energy is zero. Hence E is U, the change in internal energy.

Which of the following processes is reversible?
(A)
Transfer of heat by conduction
(B)
Transfer of heat by radiation
(C)
Isothermal compression
(D)
Electrical heating of a nichrome wire.
Correct answer is (C)
For a process to be reversible, it must be quasi-static. For
quasi static process, all changes take place infinitely slowly. Isothermal process occur very
slowly so it is quasi-static and hence it is reversible.
