    One mole of an ideal gas passes through a process where pressure and volume obey the relation P = P_0 [ 1- \frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{V_0}{V} \right )^2]   .Here P_0  and V_0  are constant. Calculate the change in temperature of gas if its volume changes from  V_0 \: \: to \: \: 2 V_0 :

     

    In the given (V - T) diagram, what is the relation between pressures P1 and P2 ?

    During an experiment an ideal gas is found to obey an additional law \mathrm{ \mathrm{VP}^2= }constant. The gas is initially at temp \mathrm{ T } and volume \mathrm{ V }. What will be the temperature of the gas when it expands to a volume \mathrm{ 2 \mathrm{~V} } ?
     

    A monatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature \mathrm{T_1} is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature \mathrm{T_2}  by releasing the piston suddenly. If \mathrm{L_1\: and \: L_2} are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively. then \mathrm{\mathrm{T}_1 / \mathrm{T}_2} is given by
     

    A gas at atmospheric pressure is contained in a cylinder of volume 80 litre. When it is compressed adiabatically to 20 litre its pressure rises to \mathrm{7 \mathrm{~atm}}. What will be the ratio of the specific heat of the gas?
     

    An ideal gas is taken from the state A(p, V) to the state B(p/2,2V) along a straight line path as shown in figure. select the correct statement from the following

    An ideal gas is taken from state A (pressure P, volume V) to state B (pressure P/2, volume 2V) along a straight line in the P − V diagram as shown in fig. Then which is incorrect

    Thermodynamic variables and equation of state

    Thermodynamic variables : Any thermodynamic system can be described by specifying some of the variables i.e; its pressure(P), volume(V), temperature(T), internal energy(U) and the number of moles(n). These parameters are called thermodynamic variables.

     

    Extensive and Intensive properties/variables - 

    • Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter that is present. These are bulk properties. Examples of intensive properties are - Density, Temperature ets.
    • Extensive properties are those properties which depend on the amount of matter that is present. Examples of extensive properties are - Volume, Weight etc. 



    Equation of state - The relation between the thermodynamic variables (P, V, T) of the system is called an equation of state.

    For n moles of an ideal gas, the equation of state is PV = nRT

    For n moles of a real gas equation of state is  $\left(P+\frac{a n^2}{V^2}\right)(V-n b)=n R T$

    Thermodynamic process: The process of change of state of a system involves a change of thermodynamic variables such as pressure P, volume V, and temperature T of the system. The process is known as the thermodynamic process.

    Some important processes are -

    (i) Isothermal process (ii) Adiabatic process (iii) Isobaric process (iv) Isochoric process

    (v) Cyclic and non-cyclic process (vi) Reversible and irreversible process

    Later, we will study all these processes one by one in detail.

    State or Point function does not depend on the path followed by the thermodynamic process but it depends on the final and initial position of the process.

    Path function depends on the path followed by a thermodynamic process and not on the initial and final states of the system. An example of a point function is Internal energy and an example of a path function is Heat and work.
