$A$ gas undergoes a change in which its pressure $P$ and volume $V$ are related as $PV^{n} = \text{constant}$, where $n$ is a constant. If the specific heat of the gas in this change is zero, then the value of $n$ is $(\gamma = \text{adiabatic ratio})$.

  • A
    $1-\gamma$
  • B
    $\gamma+1$
  • C
    $\gamma-1$

$A$ thermally insulating cylinder has a thermally insulating and frictionless movable partition in the middle,as shown in the figure below. On each side of the partition,there is one mole of an ideal gas,with specific heat at constant volume,$C_v = 2R$. Here,$R$ is the gas constant. Initially,each side has a volume $V_0$ and temperature $T_0$. The left side has an electric heater,which is turned on at very low power to transfer heat $Q$ to the gas on the left side. As a result,the partition moves slowly towards the right,reducing the right side volume to $V_0 / 2$. Consequently,the gas temperatures on the left and the right sides become $T_L$ and $T_R$,respectively. Ignore the changes in the temperatures of the cylinder,heater,and the partition.
$(1)$ The value of $\frac{T_R}{T_0}$ is
$(A)$ $\sqrt{2}$ $(B)$ $\sqrt{3}$ $(C)$ $2$ $(D)$ $3$
$(2)$ The value of $\frac{Q}{RT_0}$ is
$(A)$ $4(2\sqrt{2}+1)$ $(B)$ $4(2\sqrt{2}-1)$ $(C)$ $(5\sqrt{2}+1)$ $(D)$ $(5\sqrt{2}-1)$

$A$ certain mass of gas at $273 \ K$ is expanded to $81$ times its volume under adiabatic condition. If $\gamma = 1.25$ for the gas, then its final temperature is ..... $^\circ C$
