$d Q = d U + d W$

$n C d T = n C_{v} d T + d W,$ We need to find $d W$

we have $P V^{2} = R T, P =$ constant

differentiating, $P 2 V d V = R d T \Rightarrow P d V = \frac{R . d T}{2 V}$

Also, $d W = P d V = \frac{R . d T}{2 V}$

For one mole of gas, $C . d T = C_{v} d T + \frac{R . d T}{2 V} \Rightarrow C = C_{v} + \frac{R}{2 V}$

Q 2 :
A mixture of one mole of monoatomic gas and one mole of a diatomic gas (rigid) are kept at room temperature (27°C). The ratio of specific heat of gases at constant volume respectively is [2024]

$\frac{{(C_{v})}_{m o n o}}{{(C_{v})}_{d i a}} = \frac{\frac{3}{2} R}{\frac{5}{2} R} = \frac{3}{5}$

Monoatomic gas $\to 3$ mole

Diatomic gas $\to 2$ mole

$γ_{m i x} = 1 + \frac{2}{f_{m i n}}$ ....(1)

$f_{m i x} = \frac{n_{1} f_{1} + n_{2} f_{2}}{n_{1} + n_{2}} = \frac{3 (3) + 2 (5)}{5} = \frac{19}{5}$

$γ_{m i x} = 1 + \frac{2}{19 / 5} = 1 + \frac{10}{19} = \frac{29}{19}$

$γ_{m i x} = 1.53$

Q 4 :

$U = n C_{V} T$

$\Rightarrow U = n_{1} C_{V_{1}}$ $T + n_{2} C_{V_{2}} T$

$\Rightarrow 8 \times \frac{3 R}{2} \times T + 6 \times \frac{5 R}{2} \times T = 27 R T$

Q 5 :
Two moles a monoatomic gas is mixed with six moles of a diatomic gas. The molar specific heat of the mixture at constant volume is [2024]

$C_{V} = \frac{n_{1} C_{v_{1}} + n_{2} C_{v_{2}}}{n_{1} + n_{2}}$

$= \frac{2 \times \frac{3}{2} R + 6 \times \frac{5}{2} R}{2 + 6}$

$= \frac{9}{4} R$

Q 6 :
For a diatomic gas, if $γ_{1} = (\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}})$ for rigid molecules and $γ_{2} = (\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}})$ for another diatomic molecules, but also having vibrational modes. Then, which one of the following options is correct?

( $C_{p}$ and $C_{v}$ are specific heats of the gas at constant pressure and volume) [2025]

$γ_{2} > γ_{1}$
$γ_{2} = γ_{1}$
$2 γ_{2} > γ_{1}$
$γ_{2} < γ_{1}$

(4)

$γ = \frac{2}{f} + 1$

without vibration : f = 5 : $γ_{1}$ = 1.4

without vibration : f = 7 : $γ_{2}$ = 1.14

$∴ γ_{2} < γ_{1}$

Q 7 :
In an adiabatic process, which of the following statements is true? [2025]

The molar heat capacity is infinite
Work done by the gas equals the increase in internal energy
The molar heat capacity is zero

(3)

For adiabatic process, dQ = 0

$∴$ Molar heat capacity = 0

$∴$ dQ = 0 $\Rightarrow$ dU = –dW

Also, $d U = \frac{f}{2} n R d T$

$∴$ Only option (3) is correct.

Q 8 :
Match the List-I with List-II

List-I List-II

(A) Triatomic rigid gas (I) $\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}} = \frac{5}{3}$

(B) Diatomic non-rigid gas (II) $\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}} = \frac{7}{5}$

(C) Monoatomic gas (III) $\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}} = \frac{4}{3}$

(D) Diatomic rigid gas (IV) $\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}} = \frac{9}{7}$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below: [2025]

A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I

(1)

$γ = 1 + \frac{2}{f}$ , f is degree of freedom

Triatomic rigid gas $f = 6 \Rightarrow γ = 1 + \frac{2}{6} + \frac{4}{3}$ (Triatomic)

Diatomic non-rigid gas $f = 7 \Rightarrow γ = 1 + \frac{2}{7} + \frac{9}{7}$ (Datomic, non-rigid)

Diatomic rigid gas $f = 5 \Rightarrow γ = 1 + \frac{2}{5} + \frac{7}{5}$ (Diatomic, rigid)

Monoatomic rigid gas $f = 3 \Rightarrow γ = 1 + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{5}{3}$ (Monoatomic, rigid)

Q 9 :
The temperature of 1 mole of an ideal monoatomic gas is increased by 50°C at constant pressure. The total heat added and change in internal energy are $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ , respectively. If $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}} = \frac{x}{9}$ then the value of x is ________. [2025]

0%

15

$△ T$ = 50°C = 50 K

n = 1 mole of ideal gas

$△ Q = n C_{P} △ T = E_{1}$

$△ U = n C_{V} △ T = E_{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}} = \frac{x}{9} = \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}$

For monoatomic gas $γ = \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}} = \frac{5}{3}$

$\frac{x}{9} = \frac{5}{3} \Rightarrow x = 15$

Q 10 :
$γ_{A}$ is the specific heat ratio of monoatomic gas A having 3 translational degrees of freedom. $γ_{B}$ is the specific heat ratio of polyatomic gas B having 3 translational, 3 rotational degrees of freedom and 1 vibrational mode. If $\frac{γ_{A}}{γ_{B}} = (1 + \frac{1}{n})$ , then the value of n is ________. [2025]

0%

3

$γ = 1 + \frac{2}{f}$

$f_{A} = 3 \Rightarrow γ_{A} = \frac{5}{3}$

$f_{B} = 3 + 3 + 2 = 8, γ_{B} = 1 + \frac{2}{8} = \frac{5}{4}$

$\frac{γ_{A}}{γ_{B}} = \frac{4}{3} = 1 + \frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow n = 3$
