An ideal gas with pressure $P$, volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to volume $2V$ and a final pressure $P_i$. The same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2V$ then the final pressure is $P_a$. In terms of $\gamma$, the ratio of the two specific heats for the gas, the ratio $P_i/P_a$ is

  • A
    $2^\gamma$
  • B
    $2^{1-\gamma}$
  • C
    $2^{\gamma-1}$
  • D
    $2^{-\gamma}$

The change in internal energy of a given mass of a gas,when its volume changes from $V$ to $3V$ at constant pressure $P$,is (where $\gamma$ is the ratio of the specific heat capacities of the gas).

$A$ heating element of resistance $r$ is fitted inside an adiabatic cylinder which carries a frictionless piston of mass $m$ and cross-sectional area $A$. The cylinder contains one mole of a diatomic gas. The temperature of the gas varies with time $t$ as $T = \alpha t + \frac{1}{2} \beta t^2$ (where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants), while the pressure remains constant. The atmospheric pressure above the piston is $P_0$. Then:

Answer the following by appropriately matching the lists based on the information given in the paragraph.
In a thermodynamics process on an ideal monatomic gas,the infinitesimal heat absorbed by the gas is given by $T \Delta X$,where $T$ is the temperature of the system and $\Delta X$ is the infinitesimal change in a thermodynamic quantity $X$ of the system. For a mole of monatomic ideal gas,$X = \frac{3}{2} R \ln \left(\frac{T}{T_A}\right) + R \ln \left(\frac{V}{V_A}\right)$. Here,$R$ is the gas constant,$V$ is the volume of the gas,$T_A$ and $V_A$ are constants.
