Important Questions on Thermodynamics

EASY

Consider the given diagram. An ideal gas is contained in a chamber (left) of volume V and is at an absolute temperature T. It is allowed to rush freely into the right chamber of volume V which is initially vacuum. The whole system is thermally isolated. What will be the final temperature, if the equilibrium has been attained?

Three different processes that can occur in an ideal monoatomic gas are shown in the P vs V diagram. The paths are labelled as AB,AC and AD. The change in internal energies during these process are taken as EAB,EAC and EAD and the work done as WAB,WAC and WAD. The correct relation between these parameters are:

HARD
A horizontally insulated cylindrical vessel of length 2ℓ is separated by a thin insulating piston into two equal parts each of which contains n moles of an ideal monoatomic gas at temperature T. The piston is connected to the end faces of the vessel by undeformed springs of force constant k each.

The left part is in contact with a thermostat (a device which maintains a constant temperature). When an amount of heat Q is supplied to the gas in the right part, the piston is displaced to the left by a distance x = ℓ/2. Determine the heat Q' given away to the thermostat by the left part of the piston.
