A gas filled in a cylinder fitted with a movable piston is compressed. What is the nature of work done by the applied force?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Applied force is in the direction of motion, so nature of work done is positive.

A frictionless gas-filled cylinder is fitted with a movable piston, as shown in the figure. The block resting on the top of the piston determines the constant pressure that the gas has. The height his 0.120 m when the temperature is 273 K and increases as the temperature increases. What is the value of h when the temperature reaches 318 K?

A gas is filled in a cylinder fitted with a piston at a definite temperature and pressure. Explain on the basis of kinetic theory why on pulling the piston out, the pressure of decreases.

A gas is filled in a cylinder fitted with a piston at a definite temperature and pressure. Explain on the basis of kinetic theory, the pressure of the gas increases by raising its temperature.

A gas is present in a cylinder fitted with movable piston. Above and below the piston there is equal number of moles of gas. The volume above is two times the volume below at a temperature of 300 K. At what temperature will the volume above be four times the volume below-

(i) An adiabatic cylinder contains an ideal gas. It is fitted with a freely movable insulating piston. In one experiment the piston is pulled out very fast to double the volume of the gas. In another experiment starting from same initial state, the piston is pulled out very slowly to double the volume of the gas. At the end of which experiment the final pressure of the gas will be higher? (ii) An ideal gas is contained in a cylinder fitted with a movable piston. In an experiment ‘A’ the gas is allowed to perform a work W (gt 0) on the surrounding during an isobaric process and thereafter the pressure of the gas is reduced isochorically to half the initial value. At the end of the experiment the temperature of the gas is T_(A) . In a different experiment ‘B’ the pressure of the gas is reduced to half in an isochoric process and then the gas performs a work W on the surrounding during an isobaric process. At the end of the experiment the gas temperature is T_(B) . Which is higher, T_(A) or T_(B) ?
