The reversible expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic and isothermal conditions is shown in the figure. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct?

- A \(T_{1}=T_{2}\)
- B \(T_{3}>T_{1}\)
- C \(w_{\text {isothermal }}>w_{\text {adiahatic }}\)
- D \(\Delta U_{\text {isothermal }}>\Delta U_{\text {adiabatic }}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(T_{1}=T_{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(T_{1}=T_{2}\) because process is isothermal.
Work done in adiabatic process is less than in isothermal process because area covered by isothermal curve is more than the area covered by the adiabatic curve.
In adiabatic process expansion occurs byusing internal energy, hence, it decreases while in isothermal process temperature remains constant, that's why no change in internal energy.

- Paragraph:
\(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) are two volatile liquids with molar weights of \(10 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) and \(40 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) respectively. Two cotton plugs, one soaked in \(\mathbf{X}\) and the other soaked in \(\mathbf{Y}\), are simultaneously placed at the ends of a tube of length \(L=24 \mathrm{~cm}\), as shown in the figure. The tube is filled with an inert gas at \(1\) atmosphere pressure and a temperature of \(300 \mathrm{~K}\). Vapours of \(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) react to form a product which is first observed at a distance \(\mathbf{d} \mathrm{~cm}\) from the plug soaked in \(\mathbf{X}\). Take \(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) to have equal molecular diameters and assume ideal behaviour for the inert gas and the two vapours.
