The $PV$ diagram shows four different possible reversible processes performed on a monatomic ideal gas. Process $A$ is isobaric (constant pressure). Process $B$ is isothermal (constant temperature). Process $C$ is adiabatic. Process $D$ is isochoric (constant volume). For which process(es) does the temperature of the gas decrease ?
Process $A$ only
Process $C$ only
Only Processes $C$ and $D$
Only Processes $B$ , $C$ and $D$
A rigid diatomic ideal gas undergoes an adiabatic process at room temperature. The rational between temperature and volume for the process is $TV^x =$ constant, then $x$ is
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?
If $\gamma $ denotes the ratio of two specific heats of a gas, the ratio of slopes of adiabatic and isothermal $PV$ curves at their point of intersection is
Write equation for work done for compression for an ideal gas.
The volume of air increases by $5\%$ in its adiabatic expansion. The percentage decrease in its pressure will be ...... $\%$
