A thermally insulated vessel contains an ideal gas of molecular mass MM and ratio of specific heats 1.41 . 4. Vessel is moving with speed vv and is suddenly brought to rest. Assuming no heat is lost to the surrounding and vessel temperature of the gas increases by :
(R=R = universal gas constant)

Options

  1. AMv27R\dfrac{M{v}^{2}}{7R}
  2. BMv25R\dfrac{M{v}^{2}}{5R}
  3. C2Mv27R2\dfrac{M{v}^{2}}{7R}
  4. D7Mv25R7\dfrac{M{v}^{2}}{5R}

Correct answer

B. Mv25R\dfrac{M{v}^{2}}{5R}

Step-by-step solution

KE of the vessel =12mv2= \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2}

When the vessel is suddenly stopped, the ordered motion of the gas molecules is converted into disordered motion of the molecules increasing thereby the internal energy of the gas. Thus,

∆U=nCv∆T=12mv2=12(nM)v2∆ U = n{C}_{v} ∆ T = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}\left(nM\right){v}^{2}

Where nn is number of moles of the gas in the vessel and MM is molecular weight of the gas.

∴∆T=Mv22Cv∴ ∆ T = \dfrac{M{v}^{2}}{2{C}_{v}}

As Cv=Rγ−1{C}_{v} = \dfrac{R}{\gamma - 1}

∴∆T=Mv2(γ−1)2R=Mv2(1.4−1)2R=Mv25R∴ ∆ T = \dfrac{M{v}^{2} ( \gamma - 1 )}{2R} = \dfrac{M{v}^{2} ( 1 . 4 - 1 )}{2R} = \dfrac{M{v}^{2}}{5R}
