Consider the processes A and B shown in the figure. It is possible that
विकल्प
both the processes are isothermal
both the processes are adiabatic
A is isothermal and B is adiabatic
A is adiabatic and B is isothermal
उत्तर
A is isothermal and B is adiabatic
The slope of an adiabatic process is greater than that of an isothermal process. Since Aand B are initiated from the same initial state, both cannot be isothermal or adiabatic, as they would be overlapping. But the curve of process B is steeper than the curve of process A. Hence, A is isothermal and B is adiabatic.

[Hint: Assume the atoms to be ‘tightly packed’ in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro’s number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few Å].

The figure shows two vessels with adiabatic walls, one containing 0.1 g of helium (γ = 1.67, M = 4 g mol−1) and the other containing some amount of hydrogen (γ = 1.4, M = 2 g mol−1). Initially, the temperatures of the two gases are equal. The gases are electrically heated for some time during which equal amounts of heat are given to the two gases. It is found that the temperatures rise through the same amount in the two vessels. Calculate the mass of hydrogen.
