During an adiabatic process,the pressure of the gas is found to be proportional to the cube of its absolute temperature. The ratio $C_P/C_V = \gamma$ for the gas is:

  • A
    $3/2$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $4/3$
  • D
    $5/3$

The following figure shows an adiabatic cylindrical container of volume $V_0$ divided by an adiabatic smooth piston (area of cross-section = $A$) into two equal parts. An ideal gas $(C_P/C_V = \gamma)$ is at pressure $P_1$ and temperature $T_1$ in the left part,and a gas at pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$ is in the right part. The piston is slowly displaced and released at a position where it can stay in equilibrium. The final pressure of the two parts will be (Suppose $x$ = displacement of the piston):

In adiabatic compression, the decrease in volume is associated with

$A$ litre of dry air at $STP$ expands adiabatically to a volume of $3$ litres. If $\gamma=1.40,$ the work done by air is $(3^{1.4}=4.6555)$. [Take air to be an ideal gas] (in $; J$)

$A$ gas having a volume of $1 \ mm^3$ at $1 \ atm$ pressure is compressed from a temperature of $27^{\circ}C$ to $627^{\circ}C$. What will be the final pressure if the process is adiabatic? (For the gas,$\gamma = 1.5$)

An ideal gas expands adiabatically $(\gamma = 1.5)$. To reduce the r.m.s. velocity of the molecules $3$ times, the gas has to be expanded by a factor of: (in $\times$)
