When a gas expands adiabatically

  • A

    No energy is required for expansion

  • B

    Energy is required and it comes from the wall of the container of the gas

  • C

    Internal energy of the gas is used in doing work

  • D

    Law of conservation of energy does not hold

The work done in an adiabatic change in a gas depends only on

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 

$Assertion :$ Adiabatic expansion is always accompanied by fall in temperature.
$Reason :$ In adiabatic process, volume is inversely proportional to temperature.

Consider a cycle tyre being filled with air by a pump. Let $V$ be the volume of the tyre (fixed) and at each stroke of the pump $\Delta V$ $(< < V)$ of air is transferred to the tube adiabatically. What is the work done when the pressure in the tube is increased from $P_1$ to $P_2$ ?
