JEE MainPhysicsHeat and ThermodynamicsMCQ+4 / −1
Given below are two statements : Statement I : When μ\muμ amount of an ideal gas undergoes adiabatic change from state (P1, V1, T1) to state (P2, V2, T2), then work done is W=μR(T2−T1)1−γW = {{\mu R({T_2} - {T_1})} \over {1 - \gamma }}W=1−γμR(T2​−T1​)​, where γ=CpCv\gamma = {{{C_p}} \over {{C_v}}}γ=Cv​Cp​​ and R = universal gas constant. Statement II : In the above case, when work is done on the gas, the temperature of the gas would rise. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
  1. A
    Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
  2. B
    Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
  3. C

Correct answer: A

  1. Use the first law for an adiabatic process

For an adiabatic change, Q=0Q=0Q=0 So from the first law, ΔU=Q−W=−W\Delta U = Q - W = -WΔU=Q−W=−W where WWW is the work done by the gas.

For an ideal gas, ΔU=μCv(T2−T1)\Delta U = \mu C_v (T_2-T_1)ΔU=μCv​(T2​−T1​) Hence, μCv(T2−T1)=−W\mu C_v (T_2-T_1) = -WμCv​(T2​−T1​)=−W W=−μCv(T2−T1)=μCv(T1−T2)W = -\mu C_v (T_2-T_1) = \mu C_v (T_1-T_2)W=−μCv​(T2​−T1​)=μCv​(T1​−T2​)

Now use γ=CpCv,R=Cp−Cv\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v}, \qquad R=C_p-C_vγ=Cv​Cp​​,R=Cp​−Cv​ So, Cv=Rγ−1C_v = \frac{R}{\gamma-1}Cv​=γ−1R​

Substitute into WWW: W=−μRγ−1(T2−T1)=μR(T2−T1)1−γW = -\mu \frac{R}{\gamma-1}(T_2-T_1) = \frac{\mu R (T_2-T_1)}{1-\gamma}W=−μγ−1R​(T2​−T1​)=1−γμR(T2​−T1​)​

This matches Statement I.

So, Statement I is true.


  1. Check Statement II

In an adiabatic process, if work is done on the gas, then compression occurs.

Since no heat enters or leaves, Q=0Q=0Q=0 If work is done on the gas, the internal energy increases, so temperature rises.

Equivalently, work done on gas means work done by gas is negative: ΔU=−W>0\Delta U = -W > 0ΔU=−W>0 Thus, T2>T1T_2>T_1T2​>T1​ So the temperature increases.

Therefore, Statement II is true.


  1. Evaluate options
  • A: Both Statement I and Statement II are true. ✅
  • B: Both false. ❌
  • C: I true, II false. ❌
  • D: I false, II true. ❌

Thus, the correct option is: A\boxed{A}A​
