Q 1 :    

The equilibrium state of a thermodynamic system is described by
A. Pressure
B. Total heat
C. Temperature
D. Volume
E. Work done

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:                   [2024]

  • A, B and E only

     

  • B, C and D only

     

  • A, B and C only

     

  • A, C and D only

     

(4)

For describing a particular state of a thermodynamic system, we need state variables such as pressure, temperature and volume. Path variables such as work and heat can only tells us the difference between state variables of two states.

 



Q 2 :    

A cylinder contains hydrogen gas at pressure of 249 kPa and temperature 27°C. Its density is (R=8.3Jmol-1K-1)            [2020]

  • 0.5kg/m3

     

  • 0.2kg/m3

     

  • 0.1kg/m3

     

  • 0.02kg/m3

     

(2)

Here, P=249 kPa=249×103 Pa

T=27°C=27+273=300K,  M=2×10-3kg

Equation of state, PV=nRT

or     PM=ρRT                                 [n=mM]

or     ρ=PMRT

Substituting the values,

ρ=(249×103)(2×10-3)8.3×300=0.2kg/m3
