Temperature Difference for Ideal Gas Process with Given Relation

An ideal gas undergoes a process maintaining relation between pressure (PP) and volume (VV) as P=P0(1+(V0V)2)1P = P_0 \left(1 + \left(\frac{V_0}{V}\right)^2\right)^{-1}, where P0P_0 and V0V_0 are constants. If two samples AA and BB (two moles each) with initial volumes V0V_0 and 3V03V_0 respectively undergo above mentioned process and attain same pressure, then the difference at the temperatures of these samples, TBTAT_B - T_A is ________.

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the difference between the temperatures of the two gas samples, TBTAT_B - T_A, we use the equation of state for an ideal gas, PV=nRTP V = n R T, alongside the given process equation relating pressure PP and volume VV:

P(V)=P0(1+(V0V)2)1=P01+V02V2P(V) = P_0 \left(1 + \left(\frac{V_0}{V}\right)^2\right)^{-1} = \frac{P_0}{1 + \frac{V_0^2}{V^2}}

Given:

  • Number of moles for both samples: nA=nB=2n_A = n_B = 2
  • Volume of sample AA: VA=V0V_A = V_0
  • Volume of sample BB: VB=3V0V_B = 3V_0

Step 1: Calculate the parameters for Sample AA

  1. Pressure of Sample AA (PAP_A): PA=P01+(V0V0)2=P01+1=P02P_A = \frac{P_0}{1 + \left(\frac{V_0}{V_0}\right)^2} = \frac{P_0}{1 + 1} = \frac{P_0}{2}

  2. Temperature of Sample AA (TAT_A): Using the ideal gas law PAVA=nARTAP_A V_A = n_A R T_A: TA=PAVAnAR=(P02)V02R=P0V04RT_A = \frac{P_A V_A}{n_A R} = \frac{\left(\frac{P_0}{2}\right) V_0}{2 R} = \frac{P_0 V_0}{4 R}


Step 2: Calculate the parameters for Sample BB

  1. Pressure of Sample BB (PBP_B): PB=P01+(V03V0)2=P01+19=P0109=9P010P_B = \frac{P_0}{1 + \left(\frac{V_0}{3V_0}\right)^2} = \frac{P_0}{1 + \frac{1}{9}} = \frac{P_0}{\frac{10}{9}} = \frac{9 P_0}{10}

  2. Temperature of Sample BB (TBT_B): Using the ideal gas law PBVB=nBRTBP_B V_B = n_B R T_B: TB=PBVBnBR=(9P010)(3V0)2R=27P0V020RT_B = \frac{P_B V_B}{n_B R} = \frac{\left(\frac{9 P_0}{10}\right) (3 V_0)}{2 R} = \frac{27 P_0 V_0}{20 R}


Step 3: Find the temperature difference TBTAT_B - T_A

TBTA=27P0V020RP0V04RT_B - T_A = \frac{27 P_0 V_0}{20 R} - \frac{P_0 V_0}{4 R}

Making a common denominator of 2020:

TBTA=(2720520)P0V0R=2220P0V0R=11P0V010RT_B - T_A = \left(\frac{27}{20} - \frac{5}{20}\right) \frac{P_0 V_0}{R} = \frac{22}{20} \frac{P_0 V_0}{R} = \frac{11 P_0 V_0}{10 R}


Conclusion:

The correct option is B: 11P0V010R\frac{11P_0 V_0}{10R}.
