  1. An ideal gas initially at pressurep0 undergoes free expansion until its volume is 3.00times its initial volume. What then is the ratio of its pressure to p0?
  2. The gas is next slowly and adiabatically compressed back to its original volume. The pressure after compression is(3.00)1/3p0 . Is the gas monoatomic, diatomic or polyatomic?
  3. What is the ratio of the average kinetic energy per molecule in this final state to that in initial state?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The ratio of final pressure to initial pressure for a gas that has undergone free expansion is P1P0=13.
  2. The gas is Polyatomic.
  3. Ratio of the average kinetic energy per molecule in the final state to that in the initial state isKavg2Kavg1=1.44 .

Step by step solution

01

Concept

If a process is conducted rapidly,in an insulating chamber, then the process is known as adiabatic process. In the process, no exchange of heat can take place between the system and surrounding. Such a process must satisfy the relation-

PV=constant

The average kinetic energy for each degree of freedom is equal to12kT.

02

Given

  1. The volume of expanded gas is V1=3.00V0
  2. The pressure after compression isP2=(3.00)13P0
03

Part- (a)

The equation to be satisfied during the free expansion of an ideal gas is-

PiVi=PfVf

So, for the free expansion from the original state 0 to state 1, it becomes

P0V0=P1V1

ForV1=3.00V0; the equation becomes-

P1P0=V0V1=V03.00V0=13

The ratio of pressure in final state to initial state isP1P0=13 .

04

Part-(b)

For an adiabatic process, we have

PV=constant

So, for this case, we can write

P1V1=P2V2

For, V1=3.00V0 and P2=(3.00)13P0, equation becomes-

(13P0)(3.00V0)=((3.00)13P0)(V0)1=13=43

If f is the number of degree of freedom, then-

=1+2f=4343=1+2ff=6

This shows that the gas is polyatomic.

05

Part-(c)

We know that the average kinetic energy of an ideal gas is

Kavg=32kT

So,

Kavg2Kavg1=T2T1=P2P1

Kavg2Kavg1=(3.00)13P0P0=3.0013Kavg2Kavg1=1.44

Ratio of the average kinetic energy per molecule isKavg2Kavg1=1.44
