In isothermal expansion, the pressure is determined by:
1. | Temperature only |
2. | Compressibility only |
3. | Both temperature and compressibility |
4. | None of these |
Under isothermal conditions, the volumes of ideal gas A and actual gas B grow from V to 2 V. The increase in internal energy:
1. | will be the same in both A and B. |
2. | will be zero in both the gases. |
3. | of B will be more than that of A. |
4. | of A will be more than that of B. |
The specific heat of a gas in an isothermal process is:
1. | Infinite | 2. | Zero |
3. | Negative | 4. | Remains constant |
The pressure and density of a diatomic gas changes adiabatically from (P, d) to (P', d'). If , then should be:
1. | 1/128 | 2. | 32 |
3. | 128 | 4. | None of the above |
Two identical samples of a gas are allowed to expand, (i) isothermally and (ii) adiabatically. Work done will be:
1. | more in the isothermal process. |
2. | more in the adiabatic process. |
3. | equal in both processes. |
4. | none of the above. |
In an adiabatic expansion of a gas, if the initial and final temperatures are \(T_1\) and \(T_2\), respectively, then the change in internal energy of the gas is:
1. \(\frac{nR}{\gamma-1}(T_2-T_1)\)
2. \(\frac{nR}{\gamma-1}(T_1-T_2)\)
3. \(nR ~(T_1-T_2)\)
4. Zero
One mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of T K does 6R joules of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is 5/3, the final temperature of the gas will be:
1. | (T + 2.4)K | 2. | (T – 2.4)K |
3. | (T + 4)K | 4. | (T – 4)K |
In a cyclic process, the internal energy of the gas:
1. | Increases | 2. | Decreases |
3. | Remains constant | 4. | Becomes zero |
