    Two cylinders A and B fitted with pistons contain equal amounts of an ideal diatomic gas at 300 K. The piston of A is free to move while that of B is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in A is 30 K, then the rise in temperature of the gas in B is                                             [IIT 1998]

    A)            30 K                                          

    B)            18 K

    C)            50 K                                          

    D)            42 K

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       In both cylinders A and B the gases are diatomic (g = 1.4). Piston A is free to move i.e. it is isobaric process. Piston B is fixed i.e. it is isochoric process. If same amount of heat DQ is given to both then \[{{(\Delta Q)}_{\text{isobaric}}}={{(\Delta Q)}_{\text{isochoric}}}\]Þ \[\mu \,{{C}_{p}}{{(\Delta T)}_{A}}=\mu \,{{C}_{v}}{{(\Delta T)}_{B}}\]  Þ\[{{(\Delta T)}_{B}}=\frac{{{C}_{p}}}{{{C}_{v}}}{{(\Delta T)}_{A}}=\gamma {{(\Delta T)}_{A}}=1.4\times 30=42\,K.\]
