MCQ
A gas obeying the equation of state $p V=R T$ undergoes a hypothetical reversible process described by the equation, $p V^{5 / 3} \exp \left(-\frac{p V}{E_{0}}\right)=C_{1}$, where $C_{1}$ and $E_{0}$ are dimensioned constants. Then, for this process, the thermal compressibility at high temperature
  • approaches a constant value
  • B
    is proportional to $T$
  • C
    is proportional to $T^{1 / 2}$
  • D
    is proportional to $T^{2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
approaches a constant value
a
$(a)$ Process equation is

$p V^{\frac{5}{3}} \cdot\left(e^{\frac{-p V}{E_{0}}}\right)=C_{1}$

$\Rightarrow \quad p V^{\frac{5}{3}}=C_{1} e^{\frac{p V}{E_{0}}}$

Taking $\log$ to $e$ base, we have

$\log (p)+\frac{5}{3} \log (V)=\log \left(C_{1}\right)+\frac{p V}{E_{0}}$

Differentiating with respect to volume, we have

$\frac{1}{p} \cdot \frac{d p}{d V}+\frac{5 l}{3 V}=0+\frac{1}{E_{0}}\left(p+\frac{V d p}{d V}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{d p}{p}+\frac{5}{3} \frac{d V}{V}=\frac{1}{E_{0}}(p d V+V d p)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{-d V}{d p}=\frac{\left(\frac{1}{p}-\frac{V}{E_{0}}\right)}{\left(\frac{p}{E_{0}}-\frac{5}{3 V}\right)}$

$\text { As, } p V=R T$

$\Rightarrow \quad-\frac{d V}{d p}=\left(\frac{R T}{\frac{R}{E_{0}}-\frac{5 p}{E_{0}}}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \quad-\frac{1}{V} \frac{d V}{d p} =\frac{(R T}{p\left(\frac{1}{E_{0}}-\frac{5}{3 R T}\right)}$

But this is compressibility of gas, so compressibility,

$k=-\frac{1}{V} \frac{d V}{d p}$

$=\frac{\left(\frac{1}{RT}-\frac{1}{E_{0}}\right)}{p\left(\frac{1}{E_{0}}-\frac{5}{3 R T}\right)}$

As $T \rightarrow \infty, \frac{1}{R T} \rightarrow 0$

So, $k$ approaches a constant value at higher temperatures.
