  • A
    $RT[\sqrt{2}-2]$
  • B
    $RT[1-2\sqrt{2}]$
  • C
    $RT[2\sqrt{2}-1]$

For an adiabatic process,the wrong statement is:

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 ....... $^oC$ $[\gamma = 5/3]$

$A$ thermally insulating cylinder has a thermally insulating and frictionless movable partition in the middle,as shown in the figure below. On each side of the partition,there is one mole of an ideal gas,with specific heat at constant volume,$C_v = 2R$. Here,$R$ is the gas constant. Initially,each side has a volume $V_0$ and temperature $T_0$. The left side has an electric heater,which is turned on at very low power to transfer heat $Q$ to the gas on the left side. As a result,the partition moves slowly towards the right,reducing the right side volume to $V_0 / 2$. Consequently,the gas temperatures on the left and the right sides become $T_L$ and $T_R$,respectively. Ignore the changes in the temperatures of the cylinder,heater,and the partition.
$(1)$ The value of $\frac{T_R}{T_0}$ is
$(A)$ $\sqrt{2}$ $(B)$ $\sqrt{3}$ $(C)$ $2$ $(D)$ $3$
$(2)$ The value of $\frac{Q}{RT_0}$ is
$(A)$ $4(2\sqrt{2}+1)$ $(B)$ $4(2\sqrt{2}-1)$ $(C)$ $(5\sqrt{2}+1)$ $(D)$ $(5\sqrt{2}-1)$

$A$ monatomic gas at a pressure of $100 \text{ kPa}$ expands adiabatically such that its final volume becomes $8$ times its initial volume. If the work done during the process is $180 \text{ J}$, then the initial volume of the gas is (in $\text{ cm}^3$)

$A$ monoatomic gas is suddenly compressed to $(1/8)^{\text{th}}$ of its initial volume adiabatically. The ratio of the final pressure to initial pressure of the gas is $(\gamma = 5/3)$.
