A thermally insulated container is divided into two parts by a screen. In one part the pressure and temperature are `P` and `T` for an ideal gas filled. In the second part it is vacuum. If now a small hole is created in the screen, then the temperature of the gas will

A

decrease

B

increase

C

remain same

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
c. In second part time is a vacuum, i.e., `P = 0`. So wor done in expansion `= P Delta V = 0`. Also , `Delta Q = 0`. From the first law of thermodynamics, `Delta U = 0` i., temperature of an ideal gas remains same due to free expansion.

A closed gas cylinder is divided into two parts by a piston held tight. The pressure and volume of gas in two parts respectively are (P, 5V) and (10P, V). If now the piston is left free and the system undergoes isothermal process, then the volumes of the gas in two parts respectively are

A container with rigid walls is covered with perfectly insulating material. The container is divided into two parts by a partition. One part contains a gas while the other is fully evacuated (vacuum). The partition is suddenly removed. The gas rushes to fill the entire volume and comes to equilibrium after a little time. If the gas is not ideal,

A weightless piston divides a thermally insulated cylinder into two parts of volumes V and 3V.2 moles of an ideal gas at pressure P = 2 atmosphere are confined to the part with volume V =1 litre. The remainder of the cylinder is evacuated. The piston is now released and the gas expands to fill the entire space of the cylinder. The piston is then pressed back to the initial position. Find the increase of internal energy in the process and final temperature of the gas. The ratio of the specific heats of the gas, gamma =1.5 .

A masslesss piston divides a closed thermallyy insulated cylinder into two equal parts. One part contains M = 28 g of nitrogen. At this temperature, one-third of molecules are dissociated into atoms and the other part is evacuated. The piston is released and the gas fills the whole volume of the cylinder at temperature T_(0) . Then, the piston is slowly displaced back to its initial position. calculate the increases in internal energy of the gas. Neglect further dissociation of molecules during, the motion of the piston.
