    Two cylinders of equal size are filled with equal amount of ideal diatomic gas at room temperature. Both the cylinders are fitted with pistons. In cylinder A the piston is free to move, while in cylinder B the piston is fixed. When same amount of heat is supplied to both the cylinders, the temperature of the gas in cylinder A raises by 20 K. What will be the rise is temperature of the gas in cylinder B?

    A)  28 K            

    B)  20 K

    C)  15 K            

    D)  10 K

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     For cylinder A, pressure remains constant. Heat supplied \[Q=n{{C}_{p}}\Delta T\] Here, \[\Delta R=20\,\,K\] \[\therefore \] \[Q=n{{C}_{p}}\times 20\] ... (i) For cylinder B, volume remains constant. Here, heat supplied \[Q=n{{C}_{V}}\Delta T\]... (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[n{{C}_{p}}\times 20=n{{C}_{V}}\Delta T\] For diatomic gas, \[{{C}_{p}}=\frac{7}{2}R\] and \[{{C}_{V}}=\frac{5}{2}R\] \[\frac{7}{2}R\times 20=\frac{5}{2}R\,\Delta T\,\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\Delta T=28\,\,K\]
