Inversion temperature (T(i)=(2a)/(Rb)) i...

Inversion temperature `(T_(i)=(2a)/(Rb))` is defined as the temperature above which if gas is expanded
adiabatically it gets warm up but if temperature of gas is lower than `T_(i)` then it will cool down. What will
happen to gas if it is adiabatically expanded at `50^(@)C` if its Boyle's temperature is `20^(@)C`

A

Heating

B

Cooling

C

Constant

D

None

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine what happens to a gas when it is adiabatically expanded at a temperature of \(50^\circ C\) given that its Boyle's temperature is \(20^\circ C\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Boyle's Temperature**: - The Boyle's temperature (\(T_b\)) is given as \(20^\circ C\). - Convert this temperature to Kelvin: \[ T_b = 20 + 273 = 293 \, K \] 2. **Calculate the Inversion Temperature**: - The inversion temperature (\(T_i\)) is defined as: \[ T_i = \frac{2a}{Rb} \] - It can also be expressed in terms of Boyle's temperature: \[ T_i = 2 \times T_b \] - Substitute the value of \(T_b\): \[ T_i = 2 \times 293 \, K = 586 \, K \] - Convert \(T_i\) back to Celsius: \[ T_i = 586 - 273 = 313 \, ^\circ C \] 3. **Compare the Gas Temperature with Inversion Temperature**: - The gas is at a temperature of \(50^\circ C\). - Compare \(50^\circ C\) with \(313^\circ C\): \[ 50^\circ C < 313^\circ C \] - Since the gas temperature is lower than the inversion temperature, we can conclude that it will cool down when expanded adiabatically. 4. **Conclusion**: - When the gas is adiabatically expanded at \(50^\circ C\), it will cool down. ### Final Answer: The gas will cool down when adiabatically expanded at \(50^\circ C\). ---
