$A$ monoatomic ideal gas,initially at temperature $T_1$,is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_2$ by releasing the piston suddenly. If $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively,then $T_1/T_2$ is given by

  • A
    $(\frac{L_1}{L_2})^{2/3}$
  • B
    $\frac{L_1}{L_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{L_2}{L_1}$
  • D
    $(\frac{L_2}{L_1})^{2/3}$

$A$ work of $166.28 \ J$ is done to adiabatically compress one mole of a gas. If the increase in the temperature of the gas is $8^{\circ} C$,the gas is $\left(R=8.314 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}\right)$

Helium at $27^oC$ has a volume of $8$ litres. It is suddenly compressed to a volume of $1$ litre. The temperature of the gas will be ....... $^oC$ $[\gamma = 5/3]$

The pressure and density of a given mass of a diatomic gas $\left(\gamma = \frac{7}{5}\right)$ change adiabatically from $(P, d)$ to $(P^{\prime}, d^{\prime})$. If $\frac{d^{\prime}}{d} = 32$, then $\frac{P^{\prime}}{P}$ is $(\gamma = \text{ratio of specific heats})$.
