    Question 1
    CBSEENPH110024923

    Derive an expression for the work done during Isothermal expansion

    Solution

    Work done during isothermal expansion of 1 mole of ideal gas

    W = ∫ dW

    v2
    W = ∫ Pd V - - - - ( I )
    v1

    For 1 mole of gas

    PV = RT

    P = RT / V

    Putting value of P in eqn ( I ).,

    v2
    W = ∫ RT / V dV
    v1

    v2
    W = RT ∫ 1 / V dV
    v1
    v2
    W= RT [ log e V]
    v1

    W = RT [ log e V2 - log e V1 ]

    W = 2.303 RT log 10 V2 / V1

    For constant temperature,

    W = 2.303 RT log 10 P2 / P1

    Question 2
    CBSEENPH110024924

    State the second law of thermodynamics and write its two applications of it

    Solution

    The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy can never decrease over time for an isolated system, that is, a system in which neither energy nor matter can enter nor leave. The total entropy can remain constant in ideal cases where the system is in a steady state (equilibrium), or is undergoing a reversible process. In all spontaneous processes, the total entropy always increases and the process is irreversible. The increase in entropy accounts for the irreversibility of natural processes[according to whom?, and the asymmetry between future and past.

    Historically, the second law was an empirical finding that was accepted as an axiom of thermodynamic theory. Statistical thermodynamics, classical or quantum, explains the microscopic origin of the law.

    The second law has been expressed in many ways. Its first formulation is credited to the French scientist Sadi Carnot, who in 1824 showed that there is an upper limit to the efficiency of conversion of heat to work, in a heat engine.

    Question 3
    CBSEENPH11020359

    Two points P and Q are maintained at the potential of 10V and -4V respectively. The work done in moving 100 electrons from P to Q is 

    • 9.60 × 10–17

    • 9.60 × 10–17 J

    • – 2.24 × 10–16

    • 2.24 × 10–16 J

    Solution

    D.

    2.24 × 10–16 J

    W = QdV = Q(Vq - VP)
    = -100 × (1.6 × 10-19) × (– 4 – 10)
    = + 100 × 1.6 × 10-19 × 14 = +2.24 10-16 J

    Question 13
    CBSEENPH11020493

    Two thermally insulated vessels 1 and 2 are filled with air at temperatures (T1, T2), volume (V1, V2) and pressure (P1, P2) respectively. If the valve joining two vessels is opened, the temperature inside the vessel at equilibrium will be

    • T1 + T2

    • T1 + T2/2

    • fraction numerator straight T subscript 1 straight T subscript 2 space left parenthesis straight P subscript 1 straight V subscript 1 plus straight P subscript 2 straight V subscript 2 right parenthesis over denominator straight P subscript 1 straight V subscript 1 straight T subscript 2 space plus space straight P subscript 2 straight V subscript 2 straight T subscript 1 end fraction
    • fraction numerator straight T subscript 1 straight T subscript 2 space left parenthesis straight P subscript 1 straight V subscript 1 space plus straight P subscript 2 straight V subscript 2 right parenthesis over denominator straight P subscript 1 straight V subscript 1 straight T space plus space straight P subscript 2 straight T subscript 2 straight T subscript 2 end fraction

    C.

    fraction numerator straight T subscript 1 straight T subscript 2 space left parenthesis straight P subscript 1 straight V subscript 1 plus straight P subscript 2 straight V subscript 2 right parenthesis over denominator straight P subscript 1 straight V subscript 1 straight T subscript 2 space plus space straight P subscript 2 straight V subscript 2 straight T subscript 1 end fraction

    There will be no change in number of moles if the vessels are joined by the valve. Therefore, from gas equation
    PV space equals space nRT
fraction numerator straight P subscript 1 straight V subscript 1 over denominator RT subscript 1 end fraction space plus space fraction numerator straight P subscript 2 straight V subscript 2 over denominator RT subscript 2 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight P left parenthesis straight V subscript 1 space plus straight V subscript 2 right parenthesis over denominator RT end fraction space
rightwards double arrow space fraction numerator straight P subscript 1 straight V subscript 1 straight T subscript 2 space plus space straight P subscript 2 space straight V subscript 2 straight T subscript 1 over denominator straight T subscript 1 straight T subscript 2 end fraction space equals fraction numerator space straight P left parenthesis straight V subscript 1 space plus straight V subscript 2 right parenthesis over denominator straight T end fraction

    Now, according to Boyle's law (pressure = constant) P1 V1 + P2 V2 = P(V1 + V2 )
    Hence comma space straight T equals space fraction numerator left parenthesis straight P subscript 1 straight V subscript 1 space plus straight P subscript 2 straight V subscript 2 right parenthesis straight T subscript 1 straight T subscript 1 over denominator straight P subscript 1 straight V subscript 1 straight T subscript 1 space plus space straight P 2 straight V subscript 2 straight T subscript 1 end fraction

    • 2/3

    • 2/7

    • 1/3

    Solution

    A.

    2/5

    Gas is monatomic, so

    Cp = 52R

    Given process is isobaric

    dQ = nCpdt

     dQ = n52RdTdW = PdV = nRdT Required ratio = dWdQ = nRdTn52RdT  = 25

    • 26.8%

    • 20%

    • 6.25%

    Solution

    A.

    26.8%

    Efficiency of ideal heat engine,

    η = 1-T2T1

    Sink temperature, T2 = 100oC = 100 + 273 = 373 K
    Source temperature, T1 = 0o C = 0 + 273 = 273 K

    Percentage efficiency,

    %η = 1-T2T1 x 100= 1-273373 x 100 - 100373 x 100 = 26.8%

    dpdv = γpV i.e slope αγ

    From graph (slope)2 > (slope)1

    ⇒ γ21

    γ for monoatomic gas (Ar, He) is greater than γ for the diatomic gas (O2, N2)

    Question 23
    CBSEENPH11020885

    The temperature of source and sink of a heat engine are 127oC and 27oC, respectively. An inventor claims its efficiency to be 26%, then 

    • It is impossible

    • It is possible with high probability

    • It is possible with low probability

    • Data are insufficient

    Solution

    A.

    It is impossible

    Efficiency of a heat engine is

    η = 1 - T1T2or η = T1 -T2T1Here, T1 = 273 + 127 = 400 KT2 = 273 + 27 = 300 Kη = 400 -300400 = 100400 = 0.25 = 25%

    Heat, 26% efficiency is impossible for a given heat engine.

    Question 24
    CBSEENPH11026111

    A body of specific heat 0.2 kcal/ kg° C is heated through 100°C. The percentage increase in its mass is

    • 9%

    • 9.3×10-11 %

    • 10%

    • None of these

    Solution

    B.

    9.3×10-11 %

    Heat taken by the given body = mc Δθ ( specific heat of body =0.2 kcal/kgoC ,  final temperature of the body =100oC)

    ΔE = m × 0.2 × 100 =100 m kcal

          =20m × 4.2 × 103 J

    Now gain of the mass is given by

    m = EC2                            E =mc2         =20m × 4.2 × 1033×1082Therefore percentage increase in mass is given by     =mm×100     =20m × 4.2 ×1033×1082×100      =9.3×10-11%

    Question 25
    CBSEENPH11026124

    A raft of wood of mass 120 kg floats in water. The weight that can be put on the raft to make it just sink, should be (d raft = 600 kg/m3)

    • 80 kg

    • 50 kg

    • 60 kg

    • 30 kg

    Solution

    A.

    80 kg

    Volume of the raft is given by

    V =md= 120600 =0.2m3If the raft is immersed fully in water. Then weight of water displaced is= V dwater=0.2×103 =200 kgHence the additional weight which is supported by raft : 200 kg - 120 kg = 80 kg

    If the weight of the object is more than this it will sink.

    Question 26
    CBSEENPH11026126

    A monoatomic gas supplied the heat Q very slowly keeping the pressure constant. The work done by the gas will be

    • 23Q

    • 35 Q

    • 25Q

    • 15Q

    Solution

    A.

    23Q

    The general principle of conservation of energy then implies that

    Q =W +U    ......(1)

    i.e the energy (ΔQ) supplied to the system to increase the internal energy of the system(ΔU) and rest in work on the environment (ΔW). Equation (1) known as First law of thermodynamics.

    For monoatomic gas at constant pressure

    UQ =13or  U =Q3Now applying first law of thermodyanamicsW =Q -U      =Q -Q3W = 2Q3

    Question 27
    CBSEENPH11026147

    A perfect gas is found to obey the relation PV3/2 = constant during an adiabatic process. If such a gas initially at a temperature T, is compressed to half of its initial volume, then its final temperature will be :

    • 2 T

    • 4T

    • (2)1/2 T

    • 2 (2)1/2 T

    Solution

    C.

    (2)1/2 T

    In adiabatic process the system is insulated from the surroundings and heat is absorbed or released. Adiabatic proceess of the ideal gas is PVγ = constant

    where γ is the ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume.

    Gas obeys the equation

         PV3/2 = constant

     

    Comparing with PVγ= constant  γ = 32

     

    Question 28
    CBSEENPH11026148

    In isothermal process, which of the following is not true?

    • Temperature remains constant

    • Internal energy does not change

    • No heat enters or leaves the system

    • none of the above

    Solution

    C.

    No heat enters or leaves the system

    In an isothermal process ( Temperature fixed), the ideal gas equation gives

    PV = constant

    i.e pressure of a given mass of gas varies inversely as its volume. In the isothermal process, heat enters or leaves the system, so keep the temperature constant, so statement (C) is wrong.

    Question 29
    CBSEENPH11026159

    Which of the following processes is reversible?

    • Transfer of heat by radiation

    • Electrical heating of a nichrome wire

    • Transfer of heat by conduction

    • Isothermal compression

    Solution

    A.

    Transfer of heat by radiation

    When two bodies are at different temperatures and seperated by distance, the heat transfer between them is called as radiation heat transfer. A reversible process in which system and surroundings can be restored to the initial state from the final state without producing any changes in the thermodynamic properties called revrsible process.

    (a) It is the process by which heat is transmitted from one place to another without heating the intervening medium. Hence it is not reversible process.

    b) Nichrome wire is made of alloys and has high resistance. When current is passed through it, heat is produced. So, here electrical energy is converted into heat energy. Hence, it is not a
    reversible process.

    (c) It is the process by which heat is transmitted from one point to another through a substance in the direction of fall of temperature without the actual movement of the particles of the substances themselves. Hence, it cannot be reversible.

    d) Isothermal compression is reversible, for example-Carnot cycle, Heat engine. Thus, choice (d) is correct.

    Question 30
    CBSEENPH11026161

    An ideal gas heat engine operates in Carnot cycle between 227o C and 127o C. It absorbs 6 × 104 cal of heat at higher temperature. Amount of heat converted to work is

    • 2.4 × 104 cal

    • 6 × 104 cal 

    • 1.2  × 104

    • 4.8  × 10cal

    Solution

    C.

    1.2  × 104

    The heat converted to work is the amount of heat that remains after going through the sink.
    From the relation

    Q1Q2 = T2T1Given :- Q1 = 6 × 104 calT1 = 227+ 273 = 500 KT2 = 127 + 273 = 400 K Q26 × 104 = 400500Q2 = 45 × 6 × 104 cal

    Now heat converted to work:-

    Q1 - Q2= 6.0 × 104 - 4.8 ×104= 1.2  × 104 cal

    Question 31
    CBSEENPH11026182

    Which of the following parameters does not characterise the thermodynamic state of matter?

    • Temperature

    • Pressure

    • Work

    • Volume

    Solution

    C.

    Work

    Work does not characterise the thermodynamic state of matter, it is a path function giving only relationship between two quantities.

    Question 32
    CBSEENPH11026186

    The work of 146 kJ is performed in order to compress one kilo mole of a gas adiabatically and in this process the temperature of the gas increases by 7°C. The gas is (R= 8.3J mol-1 K-1 )

    • diatomic

    • triatomic

    • a mixture of monoatomic and diatomic

    • monoatomic

    Solution

    A.

    diatomic

    In an adiabatic process, the system is insulated from the surroundings and heat absorbed or released is zero

    For adiabatic process

           dQ = 0 

           dU = -ΔW

    ⇒ nCV dT = + 146 × 103 J

          [ f → degree of freedom ]

    103 × f ×× 8.3 × 72 = 146 × 103

                   f = 5.02 ≈ 5

    So, it is diatomic gas.

    Question 33
    CBSEENPH11026192

    We consider a thermodynamic system. If ΔU represents the increase in its internal energy and W the work done by the system, which of the following statements is true?

    • ΔU = -W in an adiabatic process

    • ΔU = W in an isothermal process

    • ΔU = -W in an isothermal process

    • ΔU = W in an adiabtic process

    Solution

    A.

    ΔU = -W in an adiabatic process

    An isothermal process is a constant temperature process. In this process

    T = constant (or) ΔT = 0

    ∴ΔU = nCv  ΔT = 0

    An adiabatic process is defined as one with no heat transfer into or out of a system. Therefore,

                Q = 0

    From first law of thermodynamics

                W = - ΔU

                ΔU = -W

    Question 34
    CBSEENPH11026206

    When you make ice cubes, the entropy of water

    • does not change

    • increases

    • decreases

    • may either increase or decrease depeding on the process used

    Solution

    C.

    decreases

    The entropy function gives us a numerical measure of the irreversibility of a given process, ie, it is a measure of disorder of a system. During formation of ice cubes orderedness increases, ie, disorderness decreases, hence entropy decreases.

    Question 35
    CBSEENPH11026224

    1 mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of T K does 6R joule of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is 5/3, then final temperature of the gas will be

    • ( T - 4 ) K

    • ( T + 4 ) K

    • ( T - 2.4 ) K

    • ( T + 2.4 ) K

    Solution

    A.

    ( T - 4 ) K

    In an adiabatic process, the system is insulated from the surroundings and heat absorbed or released is zero.

                 PVγ  = constant

    Where γ is the ratio of specific heats ( ordinary or molar ) at constant pressure and at constant volume.

    Work done by the gas in adiabatic process,

              W = μ R Ti - Tfγ - 1

    ∴         6 R = 1 × R T - T253 - 1

    ⇒         6 = T - T223

    ⇒        T - T2 = 4

    ⇒         T2 = ( T - 4) K

    Question 36
    CBSEENPH11026240

    In Carnot engine efficiency is 40% at hot reservoir temperature T.  For efficiency 50%,  what will be temperature of hot reservoir?

    • T5

    • 2 T5

    • 6 T

    • 6T5

    Solution

    D.

    6T5

    The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of work done to the heat supplied, ie,

           η = work doneHeat input 

               = WQ

    ⇒    η = 1 - T2T1

    where T2 is temperature of sink, and T1 is temperature of hot reservoir.

    ∴    40100 = 1- T2T1

    ⇒       T2T1 = 0.6

    ⇒        T2 = 0.6 T1

    Again,   50100 = 1 - T2T1'

    ⇒           T2T1' = 0.5

    ⇒            0.6 T1T1' = 0.5

    ∴              T1' = 0.60.5 T1

    ⇒                T1' = 65T

    Question 37
    CBSEENPH11026314

    During an adiabatic process, the pressure of a gas is found to be proportional to the cube of absolute temperature. The ratio CPCV for the gas is

    • 43

    • 2

    • 53

    • 32

    Solution

    D.

    32

    Given, that

               ρ  T3

    ⇒     ρ T -3 = constant         .....(i)

    Also for adiabatic process,

           ρ V γ = Constant

    But  pV = RT (ideal gas law)

     ⇒    V = RTρ

    ∴     ρRTργ = constant  

          ρ1-γ Tγ = constant             ..... (ii)

    ⇒     ρ Tγ1-γ = constant 

    Equating Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

        γ1 - γ = -3

    ⇒     γ = -3 + 3γ

    ⇒    2γ = 3

    ⇒     γ = 32

    ⇒     CPCV = 32

    Question 38
    CBSEENPH11026325

    A diatomic gas (γ = 1.4) does 200 J of work when it is expanded isobarically. Find the heat given to the gas in the process

    • 500 J

    • 700 J

    • 600 J

    • 900 J

    Solution

    B.

    700 J

       For a diatomic gas

      CV52 R    and  CP72 R

    The work done in an isobaric process is

        W = P ( V2 - V1 )

              = n R ( T2 - T1 )

    ⇒  T2 - TWnR

    The heat given in an isobaric process is

          Q = n CP (T2 - T1 )

          n CP WnR = 72 W  

    ⇒                 = 72 × 200 J

    ⇒     n CPWnR  = 700 J 

    Question 39
    CBSEENPH11026330

    1 kg of water is converted into steam at the same temperature and at 1 atm (100 kPa). The density of water and steam are 1000 kgm-3 and 0.6 kgm-3 respectively. The latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2.25 x 106 J kg-1, What will be increase in energy?

    • 3 × 105 J

    • 4 × 106 J

    • 2.08 × 106 J

    • None of these

    Solution

    C.

    2.08 × 106 J

    Given:-

    Latent heat of vaporization = 2.25 × 106 J kg-1

    P = 1atm = 100kPa = 1 × 105 Pa 

    Mass of the water = 1 kg

    The volume of 1 kg water

    ⇒          V = 11000 m3

    and volume of 1 kg steam 

    ⇒         V' = 10.6 m3

    The increase in volume 

    ⇒           ΔV = ( V' - V )

    ⇒          ΔV  = 10.6 m3-  11000 m3

                       = ( 1.7 - 0.001 ) m3

    ⇒           ΔV = 1.699

    ⇒           ΔV ≈ 1.7 m3

    The work done by steam is

          ΔW = P ΔV

          ΔW = ( 100 kPa ) (1.7 m3 )

          ΔW = 1.7 × 105 J

    The change in internal energy

          ΔU = ΔQ - ΔW

               = 2.25 × 106 J - 1.7 × 105 J

          ΔU = 2.08 × 106 J

    Question 40
    CBSEENPH11026331

    A lead ball at 30°C is dropped from a height of 6.2 km. The ball is heated due to the air resistance and it completely melts just before reaching the ground. The molten substance falls slowly on the ground. If the specific heat of lead = 126 Jkg-1 oC-1 and melting point of lead= 130°C and suppose that any mechanical energy lost is used to heat the ball, then the latent heat of fusion of lead is

    • 2.4 × 104 J Kg-1

    • 3.6 × 104 J Kg-1

    • 7.6 × 102 J kg-1

    • 4.94 × 103 J kg-1

    Solution

    D.

    4.94 × 103 J kg-1

    Given:-

              Tm = 130o C

                h = 6.2 km = 6200 m

             S = 126 J kg-1 oC-1

    Let the mass of the lead ball be m and its latent heat of fusion be L.

    The initial temperature of the lead ball T1 = 30o C

    The potential energy of the ball gets converted into heat melts the ball.

     ∴                   mgh = mS ( Tm - T1 ) + mL

    ⇒   m (10) ( 6200 ) = m (126 ) (130 - 30 ) + mL

    ⇒                  6200 = 12600 + L

    ⇒                     L = 4.94 × 104 J Kg-1

    Question 41
    CBSEENPH11026348

    The given p-V diagram shows gases during adiabatic process. Plots 1 and 2 should correspond respectively to

          

    • He and O2

    • O2 and He

    • He and Ar

    • O2 and N2

    Solution

    A.

    He and O2

    We know that

              dpdV = - γ pV

    ∴          slope  ∝ γ

    From the Figure, slope of 2 > slope of 1

               

    So, plots 1 and 2 should correspond to He and O2 respectively.

    Question 42
    CBSEENPH11026349

    For an adiabatic expansion of a monoatomic perfect gas, the volume increases by 24%. What is the percentage decrease in pressure?

    • 24%

    • 40%

    • 48%

    • 71%

    Solution

    B.

    40%

    As we know that according to adiabatic expansion

              pVγ = K

       γ is the ratio of specific heat.

    By differentiating

    ∴        Δp Vγ + pγ Vγ-1 ΔV = 0

    ⇒          pp = - γ VV
    For monoatomc gas,

                  γ = 53

                pp = 53 × 24%

                  pp = 40 %

    Question 43
    CBSEENPH11026357

    One mole of a monoatomic ideal gas undergoes the process A → B in the given p-V diagram. The molar heat capacity for this process is

              

    • 3R2

    • 13 R6

    • 5 R2

    • 2R

    Solution

    B.

    13 R6

    A pressure-volume ( or PV diagram or volume-pressure loop) is used to describe corresponding changes in volume and pressure in a system. They are commonly used in thermodynamics, cardiovascular physiology, and respiratory physiology.

    WAB = Area under p-V diagram

              = 4 V0 × 3p0 + 12 4 V0 × 3 p0

             = 18 p0 V0

    ∴  ΔU = nCv ΔT

             = 1. 32 R TB -TA

             = 32R 30 p0 V0R - 3 p0 V0R

             = 812 p0 V0

    Thus,  QAB = WAB + UAB

                           = 18 p0 V0 + 812 p0 V0

                QAB  = 1172p0 V0

    Molar heat capacity

                C = Qn T

                    = 117 p0 V0230 p0 V0R - 3 p0 V0R

                   = 117 p0V0227 p0 V0R

            C = 13R6

    Question 44
    CBSEENPH11026364

    A lead bullet penetrates into a solid object and melts. Assuming that 50% of its kinetic energy was used to heat it, the initial speed of the bullet is (the initial temperature of the bullet is 25oC and its melting point is 300°C). Latent heat of fusion of lead= 2.5 x 104 J/kg and specific heat capacity of lead= 125 J/kg-K

    • 100 m/s

    • ≈ 490 m/s

    • 520 m/s

    • 360 m/s

    Solution

    B.

    ≈ 490 m/s

    Given:-

     Specific heat S = 125 J/kg - K

     θi = 25o C

     θm = 300o C

     m = 2.5 × 104 J/kg

    Then,

     Heat energy supplied to lead bullet

      Q = 50% of KE

          = 12 12m v2

      Q = 14 mv2

    Heat energy utilised for rise of temp and melting of lead bullet

      Q' = mc Δθ+ mL

           = m ( c Δθ + L )

    By equating Q and Q'

      14 mv2 = m  cθ +  L

    ⇒  v24 = 125  300 - 25  + 2.5 × 104  

    ⇒   v24 = 59375 × 4

    ⇒   v2237500

    ⇒  v = 487.5 m/s

    ⇒  v = 490 m/s

    Question 45
    CBSEENPH11026378

    The slope of isothermal and adiabatic curves are related as

    • isothermal curve slope= adiabatic curve slope

    • isothermal curve slope = γ × adiabatic curve slope

    • adiabatic curve slope = γ× isothermal curve slope

    • adiabatic curve slope =12× isothermal curve slope

    Solution

    C.

    adiabatic curve slope = γ× isothermal curve slope

     For isothermal process pV = constant

    ⇒       dpdV = -pV = slope of isothermal curve

    For adiabatic process, pVγ = constant

    ⇒        dpdV = -γ pV = slope of adiabatic curve

    Clearly

               dpdVadiabatic = γ dpdVisothermal 

    Question 46
    CBSEENPH11026381

    The volume of an ideal gas is doubled in an isothermal process. Then, which of the following is true?

    • Work done by the gas is positive

    • Work done by the gas is negative

    • Internal energy of the system decreases

    • Internal energy of the system increases

    Solution

    A.

    Work done by the gas is positive

    For isothermal process

       dU = 0

    Work done = dW

                     = ρ ( v2 - v1 )

    ∴  dW = + pV                          [ V2 = 2V1 = 2V ]

    Question 47
    CBSEENPH11026393

    When an ideal monoatomic gas is heated at constant pressure, the fraction of the heat energy supplied which increases the internal energy of the gas is

    • 2 / 5

    • 3 / 5

    • 3 / 7

    • 5 / 7

    Solution

    B.

    3 / 5

    By first law of thermodynamics

        ΔQ = ΔU + ΔW

    Where ΔQ = Heat supplied to the system by the surroundings

              ΔW = Work done by the system on the surroundings

              ΔU = change in internal energy of the system

             = f2 nRT + P dV

       Q = f2 nRT + PV

       Q = f2 nRT + nRT                (  PV = nRT )

          = 32 nRT + nRT

       Q = 52 nRT

    Fraction of heat energy supplied increase the internal energy.

    ∴  Fraction of heat energy supplied

                       = UQ

                        =  32  nRT 52  nRT

                         = 35

    Question 48
    CBSEENPH11026398

    A Carnot engine operates with source at 127°C and sink at 27°C. If the source supplies 40 kJ of heat energy, the work done by the engine is

    • 30 kJ

    • 10 kJ

    • 4 kJ

    • 1 kJ

    Solution

    B.

    10 kJ

    Efficiency, η = 1 - T2T1

                  η = 1 - 273 + 27273 + 127

                  η  = 1 - 300400 

                       = 1 -34

                  η  = 14

    Also, The efficiency defination given by

            η  = Work done by engineHeat supplied by source

                 = W40 kJ

    ∴   W = 40 η 

               = 40 × 14

         W = 10 kJ   

    Question 49
    CBSEENPH11026437

    Assertion:  The specific heat of a gas in an adiabatic process is zero and in an isothermal process is infinite.

    Reason:  Specific heat of gas is directly proportional to change of heat in system and inversely proportional to change in temperature.

    • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

    • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

    • If assertion is true but reason is false.

    • If both assertion and reason are false.

    Solution

    A.

    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

    In adiabatic process, no heat transfer takes place between gas and surrounding 

                ΔQ =  0

    From definition of specific heat

                C = Qm T = 0

    Again, for isothermal process

               ΔT =  0

    ∴          C = Qm T = ∞

    Question 50
    CBSEENPH11026449

    A thermodynamic process is carried out from an original state D to an intermediate state E by the linear process shown in figure

    The total work is done by the gas from D to E to F is

    • 100 J

    • 800 J

    • 300 J

    • 250 J

    Solution

    B.

    800 J

    Total work done by gas from D to E to F is equal to the area of ΔDEF.

    ∴   Area of ΔDEF = 12 × DE × EF

    Here   DF = change in pressure

                   = 600 - 200

                   = 400 N m-2

                EF = change in volume

                     = 7 m3 - 3 m3

                      = 4 m3

    Area of ΔDEF = 12 × 400 × 4

                        = 800 J

    Thus, the total work done by the gas from D to E to F is 800 J.
