Thermodynamics – Objective Questions

Page 8 : GOLD Questions (Multi-Concept • IIT Level)

💎 GOLD QUESTIONS = Questions where 2–3 laws act together. These decide top ranks.

Q66. An ideal gas undergoes a process in which temperature remains constant while pressure doubles. What happens to volume?

  • A) Doubles
  • B) Becomes half
  • C) Remains same
  • D) Becomes four times

Answer: B

Logic: Isothermal ⇒ PV = constant

Q67. In an adiabatic expansion of ideal gas:

  • A) Temperature increases
  • B) Temperature decreases
  • C) Temperature constant
  • D) Internal energy constant

Answer: B

Key idea: Work done comes from internal energy.

Q68. A gas expands freely into vacuum. Choose correct statements:

  • 1) Work done = 0
  • 2) Heat absorbed = 0
  • 3) Temperature changes
  • 4) Internal energy remains constant

Answer: 1, 2, 4

Trap: Free expansion is not adiabatic by insulation.

Q69. Which P–V curve encloses maximum area for same initial & final states?

  • A) Adiabatic
  • B) Isothermal
  • C) Isochoric
  • D) Free expansion

Answer: B

Reason: Maximum heat intake ⇒ maximum work.

Q70. Two Carnot engines work between same reservoirs. Which is correct?

  • A) Efficiencies differ
  • B) Efficiency depends on gas
  • C) Efficiencies are equal
  • D) Depends on pressure

Answer: C

Golden Rule: Carnot efficiency depends only on temperatures.

Q71. In a cyclic process, which quantity is path-dependent?

  • A) Internal energy
  • B) Temperature
  • C) Work
  • D) Pressure

Answer: C

Concept: Work & heat are path functions.

Q72. For ideal gas, Cp − Cv equals:

  • A) R
  • B) 2R
  • C) γR
  • D) Zero

Answer: A

Must-remember: Cp − Cv = R (always)

Q73. If γ = 1, the process behaves like:

  • A) Adiabatic
  • B) Isothermal
  • C) Isochoric
  • D) Free expansion

Answer: B

Reason: γ = Cp/Cv = 1 ⇒ Cv → ∞ ⇒ isothermal

Q74. Which graph represents adiabatic expansion?

  • A) Steep curve in P–V
  • B) Straight line in P–V
  • C) Horizontal line
  • D) Vertical line

Answer: A

Q75. Refrigerator works on which principle?

  • A) First law
  • B) Zeroth law
  • C) Second law
  • D) Third law

Answer: C

Important: Heat cannot flow cold → hot without work.
