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):

  • A
    $P_2$
  • B
    $P_1$
  • C
    $\frac{P_1 (V_0/2)^\gamma}{(V_0/2 + Ax)^\gamma}$
  • D
    $\frac{P_2 (V_0/2)^\gamma}{(V_0/2 + Ax)^\gamma}$

In an adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas,the product of pressure and volume:

$A$ monoatomic gas $\left( \gamma = \frac{5}{3} \right)$ is suddenly compressed to $\frac{1}{8}$ of its original volume. What will be the final pressure of the gas in terms of its initial pressure?

$A$ gas is kept in a container having walls which are thermally non-conducting. Initially,the gas has a volume of $800 \ cm^3$ and a temperature of $27^{\circ} C$. The change in temperature when the gas is adiabatically compressed to $200 \ cm^3$ is ......... $K$. (Take $\gamma=1.5$,where $\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume.)

During an adiabatic process, the pressure of a gas is proportional to the cube of its temperature. The value of $C_p / C_V$ for that gas is

When $1 \text{ mole}$ of an ideal gas $(\gamma = 1.4)$ is compressed adiabatically,its temperature increases from $27^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$. The increase in the internal energy of the gas is ...... $J$? $(R = 8.3 \text{ J/mol K})$
