IIT Sample Papers: Page: 1/3

This document contains 4 sample questions from an IIT exam preparation resource about thermodynamics concepts. The questions cover topics like the ratio of heat capacities for different gases, the relationship between heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp) and constant volume (Cv), and the explanation for why Cp is always greater than Cv. The document provides the questions, multiple choice answers, and brief explanations for each answer.

IIT Sample Papers

IIT Sample Papers Q. 1 Let X be the energy needed to raise the temperature of 5 moles of nitrogen held at constant pressure by one degree. Let Y be the energy needed to raise 5 moles of carbon monoxide by one degree with the pressure held constant. What is the ratio X:Y? A. 5:7 Answer: B Discription: There is no need to do any calculations here. If you put X on top of Y, you will see that it reduces to the ratio of Cp for nitrogen over Cp for carbon monoxide. And since both gases have the same Cp, the ratio is simply 1:1. Q. 2 The difference Cp - Cv is a constant. This constant is often called R, the universal gas constant. Which of the following is true given the data? A. For a monoatomic gas, Cp = 3/2 R C. For a monoatomic gas, Cv = 3/2 R B. For a diatomic gas, Cp = 3/2 R D .For a diatomic gas, Cv = 3/2 R Know More About :- IIT JEE Sample Papers B. 1:1 c. 7:5 d. 7:9

Answer: C Discription: Helium and argon are monoatomic gases, and we can see that Cv = 3/2 *R = (3/2)*2 = 3. Q. 3 How much energy would be required to heat two moles of methane by one degree if the gas is kept at constant volume? A. 6.5 calories C. 11 calories Answer: D Description: The definition of Cv is the amount of energy required to heat one mole of a gas by one degree. Therefore, to heat two moles of methane by one degree will require 2*6.5 = 13 calories. Q. 4 Which of the following is a possible explanation for the fact that Cp is always greater than Cv? A. Some of the energy is used to expand the container in order to maintain constant pressure. B.A rigid container does not conduct heat as well as one that can change shape. C. There are generally more moles of gas when the pressure is kept constant than when the volume is kept constant. D There are generally fewer moles of gas when the pressure is kept constant than when the volume is kep constant.
