QJEEM18Phaea7: JEE Main 2018 Physics - Class 11 JEEM18Phaea7 Solution: Two moles of an ideal monatomic gas occupies a volume V at 27 o …
Two moles of an ideal monatomic gas occupies a volume V at 27oC. The gas expands adiabatically to a volume 2 V. Calculate (a) the final temperature of the gas and (b) change in its internal energy.
Multiple Choice Options
- A (a) 195 K (b) 2.7 kJ
- B (a) 189 K (b) 2.7 kJ
- C (a) 195 K (b) –2.7 kJ
- D (a) 189 K (b) – 2.7 kJ
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
For adiabatic process,
pv = constant.
and we know, pv = nRT
p =
= constant
T v 1 = constant.
T1 v1 1 = T2 v2 1
Given that,
This is a monoatomic gas.
So, degree of frequency f = 3
= = 1 + = 1 + =
T1 = 27 + 273 = 300 K
v1 = v
and v2 = 2v
T2 (2V) = 300(v)
T2 = = 189 K
Change in internal energy,
U = nfR T
= 2 3 8.31 (189 300)
= 2.7 KJ
