Why does the temperature of a gas increase when it is suddenly compressed?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the temperature of a gas increases when it is suddenly compressed, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Compression**: When a gas is compressed, the volume of the gas decreases. This means that the gas molecules are forced closer together. **Hint**: Think about how reducing the space available for gas molecules affects their movement. ...

When the temperature of a body increases

A gas is enclosed in a cylindrical can fitted with a piston. The walls of the can and the piston are adiabatic. The initial pressure , volume and temperature of the gas are 100 kPa, 400cm^(3) and 300K respectively. The ratio of the specific heat capacities of the gas is (C_p / C_v = 1.5) Find the pressure and the temperature of the gas if it is (a) suddenly compressed (b) slowly compressed to 100 cm^(3) .

Why is the temperature of earth gradually increasing ?

A thermally insulated vessel containing diatomic gas of molar mass M is moving with velocity v. the temperature of gas is T. if it is suddenly stopped, then A. Internal energy of gas is equal to (5nRT)/(2) when vessel is moving B. There is no change in temperature if vessel is suddenly stopped C. There is rise in temperature if vessel is suddenly stopped D. Temperature increase is due to heat input

 Why does the rate of a reaction increase with rise in temperature?

In fig. the walls of the container and the piston are weakly conducting. The initial pressure, volume and temperature of the gas are 200KPa, 800 cm^(3) and 100 K resp . Find the pressure and the temperature of the gas it it is (a) slowly compressed (b) suddenly compressed to 200 cm^(3) (gamma = 1.5) .

A cyclinder with a movable piston contains 3 mol s of hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure. The walls of the cyclinder 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 increases, if the gas is compressed to half its original volume? Given gamma= 1.4 .
