Three moles of an ideal monatomic gas perform a cycle $ABCDA$ as shown in the figure. The temperatures of the gas at the states $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $400 \, K, 800 \, K, 2400 \, K$ and $1200 \, K$, respectively. The work done by the gas during this cycle is ($R$ is the universal gas constant). (in $R$)

In the figure,a container is shown to have a movable (frictionless) piston on top. The container and the piston are made of perfectly insulating material,allowing no heat transfer between the outside and inside. The container is divided into two compartments by a rigid partition made of a thermally conducting material that allows slow heat transfer. The lower compartment is filled with $2$ moles of an ideal monatomic gas at $700 \ K$,and the upper compartment is filled with $2$ moles of an ideal diatomic gas at $400 \ K$. The heat capacities per mole are: for monatomic gas,$C_v = \frac{3}{2} R, C_p = \frac{5}{2} R$; for diatomic gas,$C_v = \frac{5}{2} R, C_p = \frac{7}{2} R$.
$1.$ Consider the partition to be rigidly fixed so that it does not move. When equilibrium is achieved,the final temperature of the gases will be:
$(A) 550 \ K$ $(B) 525 \ K$ $(C) 513 \ K$ $(D) 490 \ K$
$2.$ Now consider the partition to be free to move without friction so that the pressure of gases in both compartments is the same. Then the total work done by the gases until they achieve equilibrium will be:
$(A) 250 \ R$ $(B) 200 \ R$ $(C) 100 \ R$ $(D) -100 \ R$
Give the answer for questions $1$ and $2$.

In Column-$I$ processes and in Column-$II$ the first law of thermodynamics are given. Match them appropriately:
Column-$I$ Column-$II$
$(a)$ Adiabatic $(i)$ $\Delta Q = \Delta U$
$(b)$ Isothermal $(ii)$ $\Delta Q = \Delta W$
$(iii)$ $\Delta U = -\Delta W$

Consider the following statements:
$A$. Zeroth law of thermodynamics gives the concept of temperature.
$B$. First law of thermodynamics gives the concept of internal energy.
$C$. In isothermal expansion of an ideal gas, $\Delta Q \neq \Delta W$.
$D$. The product of intensive and extensive variables is extensive.
$E$. The ratio of any extensive variable to mass will be an extensive variable.
Choose the correct combination of statements from the options given below:

The cycle shown in the figure represents an engine (the engine consists of one mole of gas in a cylinder with a piston). $A$ to $B$ is isochoric,$B$ to $C$ is isothermal,$C$ to $D$ is isochoric,and $D$ to $A$ is isothermal. Also,$V_C = V_D = 2V_A = 2V_B$.
$(a)$ In which part of the cycle is heat supplied to the engine from the outside?
$(b)$ In which part of the cycle can the engine give energy to its surroundings?
$(c)$ How much work is done by the engine during one cycle? Give your answer in terms of $P_A, P_B$ and $V_A$.
$(d)$ What is the efficiency of the engine? (For the gas,$\gamma = 5/3$,and for one mole,$C_V = 3/2 R$)

View Solution

One mole of an ideal gas goes from an initial state $A$ to a final state $B$ via two processes: It first undergoes isothermal expansion from volume $V$ to $3V$ and then its volume is reduced from $3V$ to $V$ at constant pressure. The correct $P-V$ diagram representing the two processes is:
