In the cylinder shown in the figure, air is enclosed under the piston. Piston mass cross sectional area of the cylinder atmospheric pressure The air temperature is constant, the friction is negligible.



Important Questions on Thermal Properties of Matter
( is universal gas constant and is the acceleration due to gravity)


A long cylindrical pipe of radius is closed at its upper end and has an airtight piston of negligible mass as shown. When mass is attached to the other end of piston, it moves down by a distance, before coming to equilibrium. Assuming air to be an ideal gas, (see figure) is close to , one atmospheric pressure is ),

An ideal gas undergoes a circular cycle centred at , as shown in the diagram.
The maximum temperature attained in this process is close to













The volume of gas is twice than that of gas . The compressibility factor of gas is thrice than that of gas at same temperature. What are the pressures of the gases for equal number of moles?
