Question
An ideal gas can be expanded from an initial state to a certain volume through two different processes,
$$\left( A \right)\,P{V^2} = K$$ and $$\left( B \right)\,P = K{V^2},$$ where $$K$$ is a positive constant. Then, choose the correct option from the following.
A.
Final temperature in $$\left( A \right)$$ will be greater than in $$\left( B \right)$$
B.
Final temperature in $$\left( B \right)$$ will be greater than in $$\left( A \right)$$
C.
Work done by the gas in both the processes would be equal
D.
Total heat given to the gas in $$\left( A \right)$$ is greater than in $$\left( B \right)$$
Answer :
Final temperature in $$\left( B \right)$$ will be greater than in $$\left( A \right)$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Process}}\,\left( A \right)\,\frac{{nRT}}{V}{V^2} = K;TV = {\text{constant}};T \propto \frac{1}{V} \cr
& {\text{Process}}\,\left( B \right)\,\frac{{nRT}}{V} = K{V^2};\frac{T}{{{V^3}}} = {\text{constant}};T \propto {V^3} \cr} $$
