NEETPhysicsThermodynamics
When two cylinders A and B of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stopcock, with A containing a gas at standard temperature and pressure while B is completely evacuated, and the entire system is thermally insulated, what happens to the intermediate states of the system (before settling to the final equilibrium state) in terms of their location on the P-V-T surface?
Options
- AYes, they lie on the P-V-T surface.
- BNo, they do not lie on the P-V-T surface.
- CYes, but only momentarily.
- DNo, but they return to an equilibrium state eventually.
Correct answer
B. No, they do not lie on the P-V-T surface.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) No, they do not lie on the P-V-T surface.
