Question
A cylinder made of perfectly non conducting material closed at both ends is divided into two equal parts by a heat proof piston. Both parts of the cylinder contain the same masses of a gas at a temperature t0 = 27° and pressure P0 = 1 atm. Now if the gas in one of the parts is slowly heated to t = 57°C while the temperature of first part is maintained at t0 the distance moved by the piston from the middle of the cylinder will be (length of the cylinder = 84 cm)
- 3 cm
- 5 cm
- 2 cm
- 1 cm
The correct answer is: 2 cm

A gas takes part in two processes in which it is heated from the same initial state 1 to the same final temperature. The processes are shown on the P-V diagram by the straight line 1-2 and 1-3. 2 and 3 are the points on the same isothermal curve. Q1 and Q2 are the heat transfer along the two processes. Then
