Kinetic Theory Of Gases Question 153

Question: DIRECTION: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follows:

A diathermic piston divides adiabatic cylinder volume $ V _{0} $ into two equal parts as shown in the figure. Both parts contains ideal monoatomic gases. The initial pressure and temperature of gas in left compartment are $ P _{0} $ and v while that in right compartment are $ 2P _{0} $ and $ 2T _{0} $ . Initially the piston is kept fixed and the system is allowed acquire a state of thermal equilibrium. The pressure in left compartment after thermal equilibrium is achieved is

Options:

A) $ P _{0} $

B) $ \frac{3}{2}P _{0} $

C) $ \frac{4}{3}P _{0} $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] $ n _{1}C _{v}( T-T _{0} )+n _{2}C _{v}( T-2T _{0} )=0 $ $ T=\frac{3}{2}T _{0} $ $ P _{f}=\frac{P _{i}T _{f}}{T _{i}}=\frac{3}{2}p _{0} $
