Initially,the pressure of $1 \text{ mole}$ of an ideal gas is $10^5 \text{ Nm}^{-2}$ and its volume is $16 \text{ litres}$. When it is adiabatically compressed,its final volume is $2 \text{ litres}$. Calculate the work done on the gas. [Given: Molar specific heat at constant volume $C_v = \frac{3R}{2}$] (in $\text{ kJ}$)

  • A

  • B
    $7.2$
  • C
    $720$
  • D

$5$ moles of Hydrogen $\left(\gamma=\frac{7}{5}\right)$ initially at $S.T.P.$ are compressed adiabatically so that its temperature becomes $400^{\circ} C$. The increase in the internal energy of the gas in kilo-joules is $\left(R=8.30 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}\right)$.

What is an adiabatic process? Derive an expression for work done in an adiabatic process.

The work done in an adiabatic change in a gas depends only on

The pressure and density of a given mass of a diatomic gas $\left(\gamma = \frac{7}{5}\right)$ change adiabatically from $(P, d)$ to $(P^{\prime}, d^{\prime})$. If $\frac{d^{\prime}}{d} = 32$, then $\frac{P^{\prime}}{P}$ is $(\gamma = \text{ratio of specific heats})$.

$A$ monatomic gas at $630 \,K$ expands adiabatically to $27$ times its initial volume. The final temperature of the gas is (in $\,K$)
