Two cylinders A and B fitted with pistons contain equal amounts of an ideal diatomic gas at 300 K. The piston of A is free to move, while that of B is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in A is 30 K, then the rise in temperature of the gas in B is :

Answer»

18 K
30 K
42 K
50 K

Solution :In first CASE heat is supplied at constant pressure
`therefore Q =nC_(P)Delta T_(1)`
and in SECOND case heat is supplied at volume
`therefore Q=nC_(V)Delta T_(2)`
`nC_(P)Delta T_(1)=nC_(v)Delta T_(2)`
For `Delta T_(2)=(C_(rho))/(C_(v)) CDOT Delta T_(1)`
`Delta T_(2)=(7)/(5) cdot 30= 42 K`
`[because" For diatomic gas "(C_(P))/(C_(v))=gamma =(7)/(5)]`
