A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then
  • A
    Compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.
  • B
    Compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work.
  • C
    Which of the case (whether compression through isothermal or through adiabatic process) requires more work will depend upon the atomicity of the gas.
  • D
    Compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done.

    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 $10^5 \,Pa$ )
