उत्तर
The ideal gas equation is
PV = nRT
Given, P1 = 150 kPa = 150 × 103 Pa
V1 = 150 cm3 = 150 × 10−6 m3
T1= 300 K
(a)
`"n" =("P""V")/("R""T") = 9.036 xx 10^-3`
n = 0.009
(b)
`"C"_"p"/"C"_"v" = gamma , "C"_"p" -"C"_"v" ="R"`
So, `"C"_"v" = "R"/(gamma-1) = 2"R" = 8.3/0.5 = 16.6 "J" "mol" -"K"`
(c) Given,
P1 = 150 kPa = 150 × 103 Pa
P2 = ? V1 = 150 cm3
= 150 × 10−6 m3
γ = 1.5
V2 = 50 cm3 = 50 × 10−6 m3,
T1 = 300 K
T2 = ?
Since the process is adiabatic, using the equation of an adiabatic process,we get
P1V1γ = P2V2γ
⇒ 150 × 103 × (150 × 10−6)γ = P2 × (50 × 10−6)γ
`=> "P"_2 = 150 xx 10^3 xx ((150 xx 10^-6)^1.5)/(50 xx 10 ^-6)^1.5`
P2 = 150000 × (3)1.5
P2 = 779.422 × 103 Pa
P2 = 780 kPa
Again,
P11−γ T1γ = P11−γ T2γ
⇒ (150 × 103)1−1.5 × (330)1.5 = (780 × 103)1−1.5 × T21.5
⇒ T21.5 = (150 × 103)1−1.5 × (300)1.5 × 3001.5
T21.5 = 11849.050
⇒ T2 = (11849.050)1/1.5
T2 = 519.74 = 520 K
d) dQ = dW + dU
Or dW = −dU [ Since dQ = 0 in an adiabatic process]
dW = −nCvdT
dW = −0.009 × 16.6 × (520 − 300)
dW = −0.009 × 16.6 × 220
dW = −32.87 J ≈ −33 J
(e)
dU = nCvdT
dU = 0.009 × 16.6 × 220 ≈ 33 J

Estimate the fraction of molecular volume to the actual volume occupied by oxygen gas at STP. Take the diameter of an oxygen molecule to be 3Å.
A gas in equilibrium has uniform density and pressure throughout its volume. This is strictly true only if there are no external influences. A gas column under gravity, for example, does not have the uniform density (and pressure). As you might expect, its density decreases with height. The precise dependence is given by the so-called law of atmospheres
n2 = n1 exp [-mg (h2 – h1)/ kBT]
Where n2, n1 refer to number density at heights h2 and h1 respectively. Use this relation to derive the equation for sedimentation equilibrium of a suspension in a liquid column:
n2 = n1 exp [-mg NA(ρ - P′) (h2 –h1)/ (ρRT)]
Where ρ is the density of the suspended particle, and ρ’ that of surrounding medium. [NA is Avogadro’s number, and R the universal gas constant.] [Hint: Use Archimedes principle to find the apparent weight of the suspended particle.]

70 calories of heat are required to raise the temperature of 2 mole of an ideal gas at constant pressure from 30° C to 35° C. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the same gas through the same range at constant volume is
The figure shows a process on a gas in which pressure and volume both change. The molar heat capacity for this process is C.

The molar heat capacity of oxygen gas at STP is nearly 2.5 R. As the temperature is increased, it gradually increases and approaches 3.5 R. The most appropriate reason for this behaviour is that at high temperatures
