easy

Air in a cylinder is suddenly compressed by a piston, which is then maintained at the same position. With the passage of time

A

The pressure decreases

B

The pressure increases

C

The pressure remains the same

D

The pressure may increase or decrease depending upon the nature of the gas

(AIIMS-2000)

Solution

(a) Due to compression the temperature of the system increases to a very high value.

This causes the flow of heat from system to the surroundings, thus decreasing the temperature.

This decrease in temperature results in decrease in pressure.
