उत्तर
In an isothermal process,
PV = k ...(i)
On differentiating it w.r.t V, we get
`"V" (dP)/(dV) + "P" = 0`
`(dP)/(dV) = -"P"/"V"`
`(dP)/(dV) = - "k"/"V"^2` [ Using (i)] , k = constant
k = constant
In an adiabatic process,
PVγ = K ...(ii)
On differentiating it w.r.t V, we get
`"V"^gamma(d"P")/(d"V")+ gamma"PV"^(gamma-1) = 0`
`(d"P")/(d"V") = -( gamma "P""V"^(gamma-1))/"V" ^ (gamma+1) ["Using" (ii) , γ > 1 ]` and
K is constant
`gamma and (d"P")/(d"V")`
are the slope of the curve and the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and volume, respectively; P is pressure and V is volume of the system.
By comparing the two slopes and keeping in mind that γ >1 , we can see that the slope of the P-V diagram is greater for an adiabatic process than an isothermal process.

Given below are densities of some solids and liquids. Give rough estimates of the size of their atoms:

[Hint: Assume the atoms to be ‘tightly packed’ in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro’s number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few Å].

Does a gas have just two specific heat capacities or more than two? Is the number of specific heat capacities of a gas countable?
Does a solid also have two kinds of molar heat capacities Cp and Cv? If yes, is Cp > Cv? Or is Cp − Cv = R?
In a real gas, the internal energy depends on temperature and also on volume. The energy increases when the gas expands isothermally. Examining the derivation of Cp − Cv = R, find whether Cp − Cv will be more than R, less than R or equal to R for a real gas.
