The bulk modulus of a gas is defined as $B = -V (dp / dV)$. For an adiabatic process,the variation of $B$ is proportional to $p^n$. For an ideal gas,$n$ is:

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $5 / 3$
  • D
    $2$

During adiabatic expansion,if the temperature of $3$ moles of a diatomic gas decreases by $50^{\circ} C$,then the work done by the gas is (where $R$ is the Universal gas constant). (in $R$)

$A$ monoatomic ideal gas,initially at temperature $T_1$,is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_2$ by releasing the piston suddenly. If $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively,then $T_1/T_2$ is given by

When $1 \text{ mole}$ of an ideal gas $(\gamma = 1.4)$ is compressed adiabatically,its temperature increases from $27^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$. The increase in the internal energy of the gas is ...... $J$? $(R = 8.3 \text{ J/mol K})$
