Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) : In case of free expansion under adiabatic conditions, change in internal energy \(\Delta U=0\).
\(\therefore\) Internal energy and temperature will remain constant.
(B) \(p \propto \frac{1}{v^2}\)
\(\therefore p V^2 =\text { constant } \)
\( \text { or } \left(\frac{n R T}{V}\right) V^2=\text { constant } \)
\( \therefore T \propto \frac{1}{V}\)
If volume is doubled, temperature will decrease as per Eq. (ii). Further, molar heat capacity in process \(p V^x=\) constant is
\(
C=C_V+\frac{R}{1-x}
\)
From Eq. (i), \(x=2\)
\(
\therefore \quad C=\frac{3}{2} R+\frac{R}{1-2}=+\frac{R}{2}
\)
Since molar heat capacity is positive, according to \(Q=n C \Delta T, Q\) will be negative it \(\Delta T\) is negative. Or gas loses heat if temperature is decreasing.
(C) :
\(p \propto \frac{1}{V^{1 / 3}} \)
\( P V^{4 / 3} =\text { constant } \)
\( \left(\frac{n R T}{V}\right) V^{4 / 3} =\text { constant } \)
\( T \propto \frac{1}{V^{1 / 3}}\)
Further, with increase in volume temperature will decrease.
Here,
\(\text { Here, } x=4 / 3 \)
\( \therefore C=\frac{3}{2} R+\frac{R}{1-4 / 3}=-1.5 R\)
As molar heat capacity is negative, \(Q\) will be positive, if \(\Delta T\) is negative or gas gains heat with decrease in temperature.
(D) \(T \propto p V\)
In expansion from \(V_1\) or \(2 V_1\), product of \(p V\) is increasing. Therefore, temperature will increase or \(\Delta U=+\) ve.
Further, in expansion work done is also positive.
Hence, \(Q=W+\Delta U=+\) ve
or gas gains heat.
\(\therefore\) Internal energy and temperature will remain constant.
(B) \(p \propto \frac{1}{v^2}\)
\(\therefore p V^2 =\text { constant } \)
\( \text { or } \left(\frac{n R T}{V}\right) V^2=\text { constant } \)
\( \therefore T \propto \frac{1}{V}\)
