A monoatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature T_1, is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a friction less piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature T_2 by releasing the piston suddenly. If L_1 and L_2 are the length of the gas column before expansion respectively, then (T_1)/(T_2) is given by

A gas is filled in a cylinder fitted with piston at a constant temperature and pressure. Explain on the basis of kinetic theory : (i) The pressure of the gas increases by raising its temperature. (ii) On pulling the piston out, the pressure of the gas decreases. The pressure of an ideal gas filled in the bulb of a constant - volume gas thermomrter at 7^(@)C is 60 cm of mercury. What will be the pressure of the same volume of gas at 147^(@)C ?
