Thermodynamics - Result Question 27

28. One mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of $T K$ does 6R joules of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is $5 / 3$, the final temperature of gas will be

[2004]

(a) $(T-4) K$

(b) $(T+2.4) K$

(c) $(T-2.4) K$

(d) $(T+4) K$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 28. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) $T_1=T, W=6 R$ joules, $\gamma=\frac{5}{3}$

$ \begin{aligned} W & =\frac{P_1 V_1-P_2 V_2}{\gamma-1}=\frac{n R T_1-n R T_2}{\gamma-1} \\ & =\frac{n R(T_1-T_2)}{\gamma-1} \end{aligned} $

$n=1, T_1=T \Rightarrow \frac{R(T-T_2)}{5 / 3-1}=6 R$

$\Rightarrow T_2=(T-4) K$
