A polyatomic gas \(\left(\gamma = \frac{4}{3}\right)\) is compressed to \(\frac{1}{8}\) of its volume adiabatically. If its initial pressure is \(P_0,\) its new pressure will be:
| 1. | \(8P_0\) | 2. | \(16P_0\) |
| 3. | \(6P_0\) | 4. | \(2P_0\) |
A unit mass of a liquid with volume V1 is completely changed into a gas of volume V2 at a constant external pressure P and temperature T. If the latent heat of evaporation for the given mass is L, then the increase in the internal energy of the system is:
1. Zero
2.
3.
4. L
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. If \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion, respectively, then \(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\) is given by:
1. \(\left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\)
2. \(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\)
3. \(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\)
4. \(\left(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\)
An insulator container contains \(4\) moles of an ideal diatomic gas at a temperature \(T.\) If heat \(Q\) is supplied to this gas, due to which \(2\) moles of the gas are dissociated into atoms, but the temperature of the gas remains constant, then:
1. \(Q=2RT\)
2. \(Q=RT\)
3. \(Q=3RT\)
4. \(Q=4RT\)
The volume of air (diatomic) increases by \(5\%\) in its adiabatical expansion. The percentage decrease in its pressure will be:
| 1. | \(5\%\) | 2. | \(6\%\) |
| 3. | \(7\%\) | 4. | \(8\%\) |
Two Carnot engines A and B are operated in succession. The first one, A receives heat from a source at \(T_1=800\) K and rejects to sink at \(T_2\) K. The second engine, B, receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink at \(T_3=300\) K. If the work outputs of the two engines are equal, then the value of \(T_2\) will be:
| 1. | 100 K | 2. | 300 K |
| 3. | 550 K | 4. | 700 K |
The initial pressure and volume of a gas are \(P\) and \(V\), respectively. First, it is expanded isothermally to volume \(4V\) and then compressed adiabatically to volume \(V\). The final pressure of the gas will be: [Given: \(\gamma = 1.5\)]
| 1. | \(P\) | 2. | \(2P\) |
| 3. | \(4P\) | 4. | \(8P\) |
A reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by \(62^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are:
1. \(80^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
2. \(95^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 28^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
3. \(90^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
4. \(99^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
