A cylinder with a movable piston contains 3 moles of hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure. The walls of the cylinder are made of a heat insulator, and the piston is insulated by having a pile of sand on it. By what factor does the pressure of the gas increase if the gas is compressed to half its original volume ?

Two cylinders A and B of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stopcock. A contains a gas at standard temperature and pressure. B is completely evacuated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stopcock is suddenly opened. Answer the following: (a) What is the final pressure of the gas in A and B ? (b) What is the change in internal energy of the gas ? (c) What is the change in the temperature of the gas ? (d) Do the intermediate states of the system (before settling to the final equilibrium state) lie on its P-V-T surface ?

A cylinder of fixed capacity 44.8 litres contains helium gas at standard temperature and pressure. What is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the gas in the cylinder by 15.0^(@)C ? ( R= 8.31Jmol^(-1)K^(-1) )

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 .

One mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of TK does 6R joule of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is 5//3 , the final temperature of the gas will be

One mole of an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure occupies 22.4 L (molar volume). What is the ratio of molar volume to the atomic volume of a mole of hydrogen? (Take the size of hydrogen molecule to be about 1Å). Why is this ratio so large ?

Two identical containers A and B with frictionless pistons contain the same ideal gas at the same temperature and the same velocity V. The mass of the gas in A is m_A, and that in B is m_B . The gas in each cylinder is now allowed to expand isothermally to the same final volume 2V. The changes in the pressure in A and B are found to be DeltaP and 1.5 DeltaP respectively. Then

Two cylinders A and B fitted with pistons contain equal amounts of an ideal diatomic gas at 300K. The piston of A is free to move, while that B is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in A is 30K, then the rise in temperature of the gas in B is
