Thermodynamics Ques 3

3. Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stop cock. $A$ contains an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure. $B$ is completely evacuated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stop cock is suddenly opened. The process is :

[2020]

(a) adiabatic

(b) isochoric

(c) isobaric

(d) isothermal

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 3.(a)

Solution: (a) Entire system is thermally insulated. So, no heat exchange with surrounding will take place. Hence, process will be adiabatic.
