For two different gases $X$ and $Y$, having degrees of freedom $f_1$ and $f_2$ and molar heat capacities at constant volume $C_{V1}$ and $C_{V2}$ respectively, the $\ln P$ versus $\ln V$ graph is plotted for an adiabatic process, as shown.

  • A
    $f_1 > f_2$
  • B
    $f_2 > f_1$
  • C
    $C_{V2} > C_{V1}$
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$

$A$ thermally isolated cylindrical closed vessel of height $8 \ m$ is kept vertically. It is divided into two equal parts by a diathermic (perfect thermal conductor) frictionless partition of mass $8.3 \ kg$. Thus,the partition is held initially at a distance of $4 \ m$ from the top. Each of the two parts of the vessel contains $0.1 \ mol$ of an ideal gas at temperature $300 \ K$. The partition is now released and moves without any gas leaking from one part of the vessel to the other. When equilibrium is reached,the distance of the partition from the top (in $m$) will be. . . . . .
