Air is pumped into an automobile tube upto a pressure of 200 kPa in the morning when the air temperture is `22^(@)C` During the day , temperature ries to `42^(@)C` and the tube expands by 2% a The pressure of the air in the tube at this temperature, will be approximatelyA. 212 kPaB. 209 kPaC. 206 kPaD. 200 kPa

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The ideal gas law is the equation of state of an ideal gas . The state of an amount of gas is determined by its pressure , volume and temperature . The equation has the from pV=nRT
Where , p is pressure , V the volume , n the number of moles , R the gas constant and T the temperature.
`therefore " " (P_(1)V_(1))/(T_(1))=(P_(2)V_(2))/(T_(2))`
Given , `P_(1)=200kPa,V_(1)=V,T_(1)=273+22=295K,`
`V_(2)=V+0.02,T_(2)=273+42=315K`

Air is pumped into the tubes of a cycle rickshaw at a pressure of 2atm. The volume of each tube at this pressure is `0.002m^(3). One of the tubes gets punctured and the vloume of the tube reduces to `0.0005m^(3)`.How many moles of air have leaked out? Assume that the temperature remains constant at 300K abd that the air behaves asan ideal gas.

Answer» `P_1 = 2 atm = 2 xx (10^5)Pa`
` V_1 = 0.002(m^3), T_1 = 300K`
` (P_1)(V_1) = (n_1)(RT_1)`
` rArr (n_1) = ((P_1)(V_1)/ (RT_1)) = (2 xx (10^5)xx 0.002/ 8.3 300)`
` = (2 xx (10^5) xx 2 xx (10^-3)/ 8.3 xx (10^2) xx 3)`
` = (4/ 8.3 xx 3) = 0.1606.`
` Again, (P_2) = 1 atm = 10^5Pa`
` V_2 = 0.0005 (m^3), (T_2)= 300K`
` ((P_2)(V_2))= (n_2)(RT_2)`
` rArr (n_2) = ((P_2)(V_2)/(RT_2)) = ((10^5) xx 0.0005 / 8.3 xx 300)`
` = ((10^5) xx 5 xx (10^-4)/ 8.3 xx 3 xx (10^2))`
` = (5/ 3 xx 83) = 0.02`
` Delta m = moles leaked out `
` = 0.16 - 0.02 = 0.14` .

Temperature of 1 mole of an ideal gas is increased from 300K to 310K under isochoric process. Heat supplied to the gas in this process is Q=25R, where R=universal gas constant. What amount of work has to be done by the gas if temperature of the gas decreases from 310K to 300K adiabatically?

Answer» `DeltaQ=nC_(V)DeltaT`
`therefore25R=(1)(C_(V))(310-300)` or `C_(V)=(5)/(2)R`
As the gas is diatomic `gamma=1.4`
Now work done in adiabatic process
`W=(nR(T_(1)-T_(2)))/(-1)=((1)(R)(310-300))/(1.4-1)=25R`

Initial volume `=1xx[piR^(2)+(piR^(2))/(4)]=(5)/(4)piR^(2)`
Piston moves towards left by one metre on heating Additional volume available due to heating.
`=1xxpiR^(2)-(1xxpiR^(2))/(4)=(3)/(4)piR^(2)`
Total volume after heating `=2piR^(2)`
`P_(0)xx(5)/(4)piR^(2)=nRT_(0)`
After heating, `P_(2)xx2piR^(2)=nRxx2T_(0)`
`(P_(0)//P_(2))xx(5)/(4)xx(1)/(4)=(1)/(2)(P_(0)//P_(2))xx(5)/(4)xx(1)/(2)=(1)/(2)`
`P_(2)=5p_(0)//4`

Answer» `p = (1)/(3) rho v_(rms)^(2) implies v_(rms) = sqrt((3 P)/(rho))`
`:. V_(rms) = sqrt((3 xx 1.00 xx 10^(-2) xx 1.013 xx 10^(5))/(1.24 xx 10^(-2)))`
`= 495 m//s`
Again, `v_(rms) = sqrt((3 RT)/(M))`
or `M = (3RT)/(v_(rms)^(2))`
`= (3 xx 8.3 xx 400)/((495)^(2)) = 40.6 g//mol`
This is the molecular weight of argon and so the gas is argon.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Change in pressure will not affect the rms velocity of molecules. So we will calculate only the effect of temperature.
As, `v_(rms) prop sqrt(T)`
`:. (v_(300^@))/(v_(400^@)) = sqrt((300)/(400)) = sqrt((3)/(4)) implies (200)/(v_(400)) = sqrt(3/4)`
`implies v_(400) = (200xx2)/(sqrt(3)) = (400)/(sqrt(3)) m//s`.

Statement I: A quasi -static process is so called bacause it is a sudden and large change of the system. Statement II: An adiabatic process is not quasi- static because it is a sudden and large change of the system.A. Statement I: is true, Statement II is true and Statement II is the correct explanation for Statement I.B. Statement I: is true, Statement II is true and Statement II is NOT the correct explanation for Statement I.C. Statement I is true, Statement II is false.D. Statement I is false, Statement II is true.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
It is true that for real gases, and for the real procedures in the laboratory, an adaibatic process is a sudden and large change of the system obtained in a small time. However, for an ideal gas, and for an ideal procedure, we assume for such a gas, an adiabatic process is considered quasi`-` static, in which the system passes through a continuous succession of equilibrium states, which we can plot on a `P-V` diagram. Such a process is also assumed to be reversible through, of course, a quasi `-` static process may or may not be reversible. Such ideal consitions as we assume may not be obtained in particle but almose all real systems deviate little from the results of our ideal procedures, which may therefore be considered approximations to real processes.

= `-105//4.2"cal"=-25"cal",dU` =?
`"Now"" " du=dQ-dW=400-(-25)=425"cal"`
Note dW is negative because ,work done on the system .

Calculate the volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP.

Answer» Volume of 1 mole gas
`PV= nRT`
` rArr V= (RT)/P= 0.082 xx 273( as P= 1)`
` V= 22.386 =22.4L `
` =22.4 xx (10^-3)m^3`
`=2.24 xx (10^-2)m^3`

A lead bullet of mass 21g travelling at a speed of 100 `ms^(-1)` comes to rest in a wooden block. If no heat is taken away by the wood, the rise in temperature of the bullet in the wood nearly is (Sp. Heat of lead 80cal/kg `.^(@)C`)

Answer» Kinetic energy of the bullet=heat gained by the
bullet, `(1)/(2)mv^(2)=mS Deltat`
`Deltat=(v^(2))/(2S)=((100)^(2))/(2xx0.03xx4.2xx1000)=39.68^(@)C`.

A system undergoes a change of state during which 100 kJ of heat is transferred to it and it does 50 kJ of fwork. The system is brought back to its original state through a process during which 120 kJ of heat is transferred to it. Find the work done by the system in the second process.

Answer» Correct Answer - 170KJ
`triangleQ_(1) = 100 Kj traingle W_(1) = 50 kj`
`triangleQ_(2) = 120 kj W_(2) = ?`
given process is cyclic process
Hence `triangleU = 0`
` rArr triangleQ_(1) + triangleQ_(2) = triangleW_(1) + triangleW_(2)`
`100+120 = 50+ triangleW_(2)`
`triangleW_(2) = 170 kj`

As a result of heating a mole of an ideal gas at constant pressure by `72^(@)C`, a heat flow by an amount 1600 joules takes place. Find the work performed by the gas, the increment of its internal energy, and the value of `gamma`. [Hint:`triangleQ = triangleU + triangleW` or `C_(p) triangleT = C_(v)triangleT + triangleW` or `triangleW = (C_p-C_v)triangleT=RtriangleT] h`

Answer» Correct Answer - `597.6J,0.65^(@)C`
`triangleQ = nC_(p)triangleT`
`triangleU = nC_(v) triangleT`
`triangleW = triangleQ - triangleU = n(C_(p)-C_(v))triangleT`
`1(R) triangleT`
`=8.3xx72 = 597.6 J`
`triangleU = 1600 - 597.6 = 1002.4 J`
`r=(C_(p))/(C_(v)) =(1600)/(1002.4)=5/3`
