Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
An ideal gas initially at temperature, is compressed suddenly to one fourth of its volume. If the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to that at constant volume is , the change in temperature due to the thermodynamics process is_____ .
Given below are two statements. One is labelled as
Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as
Reason(R).
Assertion (A): In an insulated container, a gas is
adiabatically shrunk to half of its initial volume.
The temperature of the gas decreases.
Reason (R): Free expansion of an ideal gas is an
irreversible and an adiabatic process.
In the light of the above statement, choose the
correct answer from the options given below:

A Carnot engine (E) is working between two temperatures 473 K and 273 K . In a new system two engines – engine works between 473 K to 373 K and engine works between 373 K to 273 K. If and are the efficiencies of the engines and respectively, then
The workdone in an adiabatic change in an ideal gas depends upon only:
Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): With the increase in the pressure of an ideal gas, the volume falls off more rapidly in an isothermal process in comparison to the adiabatic process.
Reason (R): In isothermal process, PV = constant, while in adiabatic process PV = constant. Here y is the ratio of specific heats, P is the pressure and V is the volume of the ideal gas.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
