JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 11. thermodynamics

A cylinder with adiabatic walls is closed at both ends and is divided into two compartments by a frictionless adiabatic piston. Ideal gas is filled in both (left and right) the compartments at same \(P, V, T\). Heating is started from left side until pressure changes to \(\dfrac{27P}{8}\). If initial volume of each compartment was \(9\) litres then the final volume in right-hand side compartment is __________ litres. (for this ideal gas \(C_P/C_V = 1.5\))

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(14\)
  4. D \(9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The right compartment is enclosed by adiabatic walls and an adiabatic piston, and no heat is supplied to it. Therefore, the gas in the right compartment undergoes an adiabatic compression. Since the piston is frictionless, the pressure in the right compartment is always equal to…
