There are four objects A, B, C and D. It is observed that A and B are in thermal equilibrium and C and D are also in thermal equilibrium. However, A and C are not in thermal equilibrium. We can conclude that

Important Questions on Thermodynamics
Consider the following thermodynamical variables
(i) Pressure
(ii) Internal Energy
(iii) Volume
(iv) Temperature
Out of these, the intensive variable(s) is (are)

Pressure versus temperature graph of an ideal gas at constant volume is shown by the straight-line . Now mass of the gas is doubled and the volume is halved then the corresponding pressure versus temperature graph will be shown by the line

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

(Latent heat of ice is and )

Three different processes that can occur in an ideal monoatomic gas are shown in the vs diagram. The paths are labelled as and . The change in internal energies during these process are taken as and and the work done as and . The correct relation between these parameters are:




The correct option(s) is (are)


The pressure versus temperature graph of an ideal gas is shown in the figure below. If the density of gas at point is , then the density of the gas at point will be








The combination of plots which does not represent isothermal expansion of an ideal gas is

(R = 8.314 J/mol K) (ln7.5 = 2.01)


The above diagram represents the thermodynamic cycle of an engine, operating with an ideal mono-atomic gas. The amount of heat, extracted from the source in a single cycle, is:

A system goes from to via two processes and shown in the figure. If and are the changes in internal energies in the processes I and Il respectively
