    Two cylinders A and B fitted with pistons contain equal amounts of an ideal diatomic gas at 300 K. The piston of A is free to move, while that B is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in A is 30 K, then the rise in temperature of the gas in B is 

    A) 30 K

    B) 18 K  

    C) 50 K

    D) 42 K

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] A is free to move, therefore heat will be supplied at constant pressure \[\therefore \Delta {{Q}_{A}}=n{{C}_{p}}\Delta {{T}_{A}}\]                             ?.(i) B is held fixed, therefore heat will be supplied at constant volume. \[\therefore \Delta {{Q}_{B}}=n{{C}_{v}}\Delta {{T}_{B}}\]                             ?(ii) But \[\Delta {{Q}_{A}}=\Delta {{Q}_{B}}\]       (given) \[\therefore n{{C}_{p}}\Delta {{T}_{A}}=n{{C}_{v}}\Delta {{T}_{B}}\] \[\therefore \Delta {{T}_{B}}=\left( \frac{{{C}_{p}}}{{{C}_{v}}} \right)\Delta {{T}_{A}}\] \[=\gamma \left( \Delta {{T}_{A}} \right)\text{            }\left[ \gamma =1.4\left( \text{diaatomic} \right) \right]\] \[=\left( 1.4 \right)\left( 30K \right)\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Delta {{T}_{B}}=42K\]
