In an adiabatic expansion of a gas, the initial and final temperatures are $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. Then, the change in internal energy of the gas is:
$[R = \text{gas constant}, \gamma = \text{adiabatic ratio}]$

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $\frac{nR}{\gamma-1}(T_1-T_2)$
  • C
    $\frac{nR}{\gamma-1}(T_2-T_1)$
  • D
    $nR(T_1-T_2)$

Can a change in the internal energy of an ideal gas be considered an adiabatic process?

During an adiabatic process, the cube of the pressure is found to be inversely proportional to the fourth power of the volume. Then the ratio of specific heats is

Five moles of hydrogen initially at $STP$ is compressed adiabatically so that its temperature becomes $673 \, K$. The increase in internal energy of the gas, in kilo joule is $(R=8.3 \, J/mol-K; \gamma=1.4$ for diatomic gas$)$

$A$ monoatomic ideal gas,initially at temperature $T_1$,is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_2$ by releasing the piston suddenly. $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas columns before and after the expansion,respectively. The ratio $T_2 / T_1$ is

The pressure and density of a diatomic gas $\left(\gamma=\frac{7}{5}\right)$ change adiabatically from $(P, \rho)$ to $(P^{\prime}, \rho^{\prime})$. If $\frac{\rho^{\prime}}{\rho}=32$,then $\frac{P^{\prime}}{P}$ is:
