The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving the ideal gas in the cylindrical vessel divided by a piston. ### Step 1: Understand the initial conditions - We have a cylindrical vessel divided into two equal parts by a movable piston. - The gas in both parts is an ideal gas with the ratio \( \frac{V_p}{C_v} = \frac{3}{2} \). - Let the initial pressure and volume in both parts be \( P_0 \) and \( V_0 \) respectively. **Hint:** Identify the initial state of the gas and the properties of the ideal gas. ### Step 2: Analyze the changes in the right part - The volume of the right part becomes one-fourth of its initial value, so the new volume \( V_2 = \frac{V_0}{4} \). - Since the vessel is thermally insulating, the process in the right part is adiabatic. **Hint:** Recognize that an adiabatic process means no heat exchange occurs. ### Step 3: Apply the adiabatic condition - For an adiabatic process, we can use the relation: \[ P_1 V_1^\gamma = P_2 V_2^\gamma \] where \( \gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} = \frac{5}{3} \) (since \( \frac{V_p}{C_v} = \frac{3}{2} \) implies \( C_v = \frac{3}{2}R \) and \( C_p = \frac{5}{2}R \)). - Plugging in the values: \[ P_0 V_0^{\frac{5}{3}} = P_2 \left(\frac{V_0}{4}\right)^{\frac{5}{3}} \] **Hint:** Use the adiabatic condition to relate the pressures and volumes before and after the change. ### Step 4: Solve for the new pressure \( P_2 \) - Rearranging gives: \[ P_2 = P_0 \left(\frac{V_0}{\frac{V_0}{4}}\right)^{\frac{5}{3}} = P_0 \left(4\right)^{\frac{5}{3}} = P_0 \cdot 4^{\frac{5}{3}} = P_0 \cdot 8 \] - Thus, \( P_2 = 8P_0 \). **Hint:** Calculate the new pressure using the derived relationship. ### Step 5: Calculate the new temperature \( T_2 \) - The temperature can be calculated using the ideal gas law: \[ T = \frac{PV}{nR} \] - Initial temperature \( T_1 = \frac{P_0 V_0}{nR} \) and final temperature: \[ T_2 = \frac{P_2 V_2}{nR} = \frac{8P_0 \cdot \frac{V_0}{4}}{nR} = 2 \cdot \frac{P_0 V_0}{nR} = 2T_1 \] **Hint:** Use the ideal gas law to find the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature. ### Step 6: Calculate the work done in the right part - The work done in an adiabatic process can be calculated using: \[ W = \frac{P_2 V_2 - P_1 V_1}{\gamma - 1} \] - Substituting the values: \[ W = \frac{8P_0 \cdot \frac{V_0}{4} - P_0 V_0}{\frac{5}{3} - 1} = \frac{2P_0 V_0 - P_0 V_0}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{P_0 V_0}{\frac{2}{3}} = -2P_0 V_0 \] **Hint:** Use the work formula for adiabatic processes to find the work done. ### Conclusion Based on the calculations: 1. The pressure in the right part becomes \( 8P_0 \) (Option 1 is correct). 2. The temperature in the right part becomes \( 2T_1 \) (Option 2 is correct). 3. The work done by the gas is \( -2PV \) (Option 4 is correct). Thus, the correct options are 1, 2, and 4.
