Q.

Two moles of a monoatomic ideal gas (Cv= 1.5 R) initially at 400 K in an isolated, 1.0 L, piston is allowed to expand against a constant pressure of a 1.0 atm till the final volume reaches to 10 L. Which of the following conclusions regarding the above change(s) is (are) true?

a

The final temperature of the gas is 364K.

b

If the same process were carried out to the same final volume but under reversible  conditions, final temperature would have been less than 364 K.

c

In the above process, the initial and final temperatures and volumes are related as (T1T2)  =  (V1V2)γ    1

d

Entropy change of a system (ΔSsyst) is zero.

answer is A, B.

a) ΔU=Q+W

nCv(T2T1)=1[V2V1]2×1.5R[T2400]=9

T2400=3R36T2=40036T2=364K

b)  If Reversible:

8=CpCv=2.51.5=53

T1V181=T2V281

400×12/3=T2(10)2/3

T2=400(10)2/3=86.20K

c) T1V181=T2V281 is applicable only for reversible adiabatic expansion

d) ΔSsys=nCvlnT2/T1+nRlnV2V10
