A monoatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature  T1  is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature  T2 by releasing the piston suddenly. If   L1,L2  are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively, then  T1/T2 is given by :

a
(L1/L2)2/3
b
L2/L1
c
L1/L2
d
(L2/L1)2/3

detailed solution

Correct option is D

In adiabatic process, relation between  temperature T and Volume V is TVγ-1=constant, here γ is specific heat ratio⇒T1V1γ-1=T2V2γ-1⇒T1T2=V2V1γ−1volume V= Area of base x height given V1=AL1V2=AL2, for monoatomic gas γ=53⇒T1T2=AL2AL15/3−1⇒T1T2=L2L12/3

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initial thermodynamic state at pressure P1=105Pa and volume Vi=103m3  changes to final state at Pf=132×105pa&Vf=8×103m3in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that P3V5= constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system form the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at Pi followed by an isochoric (is volumetric) process at volumeVf. The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two-step process is approximately
