MCQ
A gas at initial temperature $T$ undergoes sudden expansion from volume $V$ to $2 \,V$. Then,
  • the process is adiabatic
  • B
    the process is isothermal
  • C
    the work done in this process is $n R T \ln _{e}(2)$, where $n$ is the number of moles of the gas
  • D
    the entropy in the process does not change

Answer

Correct option: A.
the process is adiabatic
a
$(a)$ In sudden expansion, time duration is small. Thus, heat does not leave or enter the gas mass.

Process of sudden expansion is adiabatic process, $\Delta Q=0$

A long cylindrical pipe of radius $20 \,cm$ is closed at its upper end and has an airtight piston of negligible mass as shown. When a $50 \,kg$ mass is attached to the other end of the piston, it moves down. If the air in the enclosure is cooled from temperature $T$ to $T-\Delta T$, the piston moves back to its original position. Then $\Delta T / T$ is close to (Assuming air to be an ideal gas, $g=10 \,m / s ^2$, atmospheric pressure is $10^5 \,Pa$ )
