A container has a tight fitting movable piston which can slide without friction. The compartment containing spring has vacuum and to the left of the piston there is diatomic gas. If vacuum is created in the right compartment also the piston touches the right wall and the spring is relaxed. Find the heat capacity of the system neglecting the heat capacities of the material of spring, container and the piston. Express your answer in terms of `P_(0), V_(0)` and `T_(0)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A thermally insulated vessel is divided in to two parts by a heat insulating piston which can move in the vessel without the friction. The left part of the vessel contains one mole of an ideal monatomic gas, & the right part is empty. The piston is connected to the right wall of the vessel through a spring whose length in free state is equal to the length of the vessel as shown in the figure. Determine the heat capacity C of the system, neglecting the heat capacity of the vessel, piston and spring.

    A cylindrical container is divided into three parts by two tight fitting pistons. The pistons are connected by a spring. The region between the pistons is vacuum and the other two parts have same number of moles of an ideal gas. Initially, both the gas chambers are at temperature T_(0) and the spring is compressed by 1 m. Length of both gas chambers is 1 m in this position. Now the temperature of the left and right chambers are raised to (4T_(0))/(3) and (5T_(0))/(3) respectively. Find the final compression in the spring in equilibrium. Assume that the pistons slide without friction
