प्रश्न
A gas is contained in a metallic cylinder fitted with a piston. The piston is suddenly moved in to compress the gas and is maintained at this position. As time passes the pressure of the gas in the cylinder ______________ .
विकल्प
increases
decreases
remains constant
increases or decreases depending on the nature of the gas
उत्तर
decreases
As the piston of a metallic cylinder containing gas is moved to compress the gas, the volume in which the gas is contained reduces, leading to increase in pressure and temperature. When the time elapses, the heat generated radiates through the metallic cylinder as metals are good conductors of heat. Consequently, the pressure of the gas in the cylinder decreases because of decrease in the temperature.

Figure shows the P-V diagram of an ideal gas undergoing a change of state from A to B. Four different parts I, II, III and IV as shown in the figure may lead to the same change of state.
- Change in internal energy is same in IV and III cases, but not in I and II.
- Change in internal energy is same in all the four cases.
- Work done is maximum in case I
- Work done is minimum in case II.
An expansion process on a diatomic ideal gas (Cv = 5/2 R), has a linear path between the initial and final coordinates on a pV diagram. The coordinates of the initial state are: the pressure is 300 kPa, the volume is 0.08 m3 and the temperature is 390 K. The final pressure is 90 kPa and the final temperature s 320 K. The change in the internal energy of the gas, in SI units, is closest to:
