When a gas is compressed adiabatically by a piston in a cylinder,the work done on the gas is found to be $1.5 \times 10^{4} \, J$. During this process:

  • A
    $3.6 \times 10^{3} \, \text{cal}$ of heat is released from the gas.
  • B
    $3.6 \times 10^{3} \, \text{cal}$ of heat is absorbed by the gas.
  • C
    $1.5 \times 10^{4} \, \text{cal}$ of heat is absorbed by the gas.
  • D
    $1.5 \times 10^{4} \, \text{cal}$ of heat is released from the gas.

$A$ certain volume of a gas at $300 \ K$ expands adiabatically until its volume is doubled. The resultant fall in temperature of the gas is nearly (The ratio of the specific heats of the gas $\gamma = 1.5$) (in $K$)

$Assertion :$ Adiabatic expansion is always accompanied by fall in temperature.
$Reason :$ In adiabatic process, volume is inversely proportional to temperature.
