Questions  

P-V plots for two gases during adiabatic processes are shown in the figure. Plots 1 and 2 should correspond respectively to

a
He and Ar
b
He and O2
c
O2 and N2
d
O2 and He

detailed solution

Correct option is D

In the graph given, slope of curve 2 is greater than the slope of curve 1 γPV2>γPV1⇒γ2>γ1                           γHe>γO2  Since, γmonoatomic >γdiatomic  Hence, curve 2 corresponds to helium and curve 1 corresponds to oxygen.

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
