Q1 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

Adiabatic constant of gas is 3/2. If volume of gas initially at \({0}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}\) is reduced to one-fourth of the original volume then new temperature is (memory based jee mains shift-1 23/01/2025)

a

\(0\mathrm{K}\)

b

\(273\mathrm{K}\)

c

\({546}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}\)

d

\(546\mathrm{K}\)

✓ Correct answer: d)

\(546\mathrm{K}\)

Explanation

In an adiabatic process, where no heat is exchanged, the relationship between temperature (T) and volume (V) for an ideal gas is given by:
T V(γ - 1) = constant, Here, γ (gamma) Adiabatic constant of gas.

T2 =546 K

Q2 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

Choose the correct statement for the work done in the expansion and heat absorbed or released when 5 litres of an ideal gas at 10 atmospheric pressure isothermally expands into vacuum until volume is 15 litres :

a

Both the heat and work done will be greater than zero.

b

Heat absorbed will be less than zero and work done will be positive.

c

Work done will be zero and heat will also be zero.

d

Work done will be greater than zero and heat will remain zero.

✓ Correct answer: c)

Work done will be zero and heat will also be zero.

Explanation

In free expansion against a vacuum, there is no external pressure resisting the expansion, so no work is done (W = 0). Since the process is isothermal for an ideal gas, there is also no net change in internal energy, so the heat exchanged (Q) is zero.

PYQ

By using relation
\(∆\mathrm{G}=∆\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{T}∆\mathrm{S}\)

Which of the following is incorrect for spontaneous reaction at a given temperature?

(Memory Based JEE Mains 23/01/2025 ,Shift -2)

a

\(∆\mathrm{H}>0,∆\mathrm{S}>0\)

b

\(∆\mathrm{H}>0,∆\mathrm{S}<0\)

c

\(∆\mathrm{H}<0,∆\mathrm{S}>0\)

d

\(∆\mathrm{H}<0,∆\mathrm{S}<0\)

✓ Correct answer: b)

\(∆\mathrm{H}>0,∆\mathrm{S}<0\)

Explanation

If \(∆\mathrm{H}>0,∆\mathrm{S}>0\) then process is spontaneous at high temperature
If \(∆\mathrm{H}>0,∆\mathrm{S}<0\) process is always non spontaneous
If \(∆\mathrm{H}<0,∆\mathrm{S}>0\), then process is always spontaneous
If \(∆\mathrm{H}<0,∆\mathrm{S}<0\), then process is spontaneous at low temperature.
