A sample of an ideal gas is contained in a cylinder. The volume of the gas is suddenly decreased. A student makes the following statements to explain the change in pressure of the gas
$I.$ The average kinetic energy of the gas atoms increases
$II.$ The atoms of the gas hit the walls of the cylinder more frequently
$III.$ Temperature of the gas remains unchanged
Which of these statements is true?

  • A

    $I$ and $II$ only

  • B

    $I$ and $III$ only

  • C

    $II$ and $III$ only

  • D

    $I, II$ and $III$

An ideal gas at pressure $P$ and volume $V$ is expanded to volume$ 2V.$ Column $I$ represents the thermodynamic processes used during expansion. Column $II$ represents the work during these processes in the random order.:

Column $I$ Column $II$
 $(p)$ isobaric $(x)$ $\frac{{PV(1 - {2^{1 - \gamma }})}}{{\gamma  - 1}}$
$(q)$ isothermal $(y)$ $PV$
$(r)$ adiabatic (z) $PV\,\iota n\,2$

The correct matching of column $I$ and column $II$ is given by 

Following figure shows on adiabatic cylindrical container of volume ${V_0}$ divided by an adiabatic smooth piston (area of cross-section = $A$ ) in two equal parts. An ideal gas $({C_P}/{C_V} = \gamma )$ is at pressure $P_1$ and temperature $T_1$ in left part and gas at pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$ in right part. The piston is slowly displaced and released at a position where it can stay in equilibrium. The final pressure of the two parts will be (Suppose $ x$ = displacement of the piston)

In Column$-I $ a graph and in Column$-II$ processes are given. Match them appropriately :

$(b)$ figure $(b)$ $(ii)$ Isobaric process
    $(ii)$ Isochoric process

$Assertion :$ When a bottle of cold carbonated drink is opened, a slight fog forms around the opening.
$Reason :$ Adiabatic expansion of the gas causes lowering of temperature and condensation of water vapours.
