The $$PT$$ diagram for an ideal gas is shown in the figure, where $$AC$$ is an adiabatic process, find the corresponding $$PV$$ diagram.
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer :
Solution :
If we study the $$P - T$$ graph we find $$AB$$ to be a isothermal process, $$AC$$ is adiabatic process given. Also for an expansion process, the slope of adiabatic curve is more (or we can say that the area under the $$P - V$$ graph for isothermal process is more than adiabatic
process for same increase in volume).
Only graph (B) fits the above criteria.

An ideal monatomic gas is taken round the cycle $$ABCDA$$ as shown in the $$P - V$$ diagram (see Fig.). The work done during the cycle is
If one mole of a monatomic gas $$\left( {\gamma = \frac{5}{3}} \right)$$ is mixed with one mole of a diatomic gas $$\left( {\gamma = \frac{7}{5}} \right)$$ the value of $$\gamma $$ for mixture is
A closed compartment containing gas is moving with some acceleration in horizontal direction. Neglect effect of gravity. Then the pressure in the compartment is
A gas mixture consists of 2 moles of oxygen and 4 moles of argon at temperature $$T.$$ Neglecting all vibrational modes, the total internal energy of the system is
