1. CONCEPT OF AN IDEAL GAS


A gas has no shape and size and can be contained in a vessel of any size or shape. It
expands indefinitely and uniformly to fill the available space. It exerts pressure on its sur-
roundings.
The gases whose molecules are point massses (mass without volume) and do not attract
each other are called ideal or perfect gases. It is a hypothetical concept which can't exist in
reality. The gases such as hydrogen, oxygen or helium which cannot be liquified easily are
called permanent gases. An actual gas behaves as ideal gas most closely at low pressure
and high temperature.
1.1 Ideal gas Equation
According to this equation.
m
PV  nRT  RT
M
m
In this equation n = number of moles of the gas =
M
m = total mass of the gas.
M = molecular mass of the gas
R = Universal gas constant
= 8.31 J/mol-K
= 2.0 cal/mol- K
2. KINETIC THEORY OF GASES
Kinetic Theory of gases is based on the following basic assumptions.
(a) A gas consists of very large number of molecules. These molecules are identical, perfectly
elastic and hard spheres. They are so small that the volume of molecules is negligible as
compared with the volume of the gas.
(b) Molecules do not have any preferred direction of motion, motion is completely random.
(c) These molecules travel in straight lines and in free motion most of the time. The time of
the collision between any two molecules is very small.
(d) The collision between molecules and the wall of the container is perfectly elastic. It
means kinetic energy is conserved in each collision.
(e) The path travelled by a molecule between two collisions is called free path and the mean
of this distance travelled by a molecule is called mean free path.
(f) The motion of molecules is governed by Newton’s law of motion
(g) The effect of gravity on the motion of molecules is negligible.
Note :
At higher temperature and low pressure or at higher temperature and low density, a
real gas behaves as an ideal gas.
3. EXPRESSION FOR THE PRESSURE OF A GAS :
Let us suppose that a gas is enclosed in a cubical box having length  . Let there are ‘N’
identical molecules, each having mass ‘m’. Since the molecules are of same mass and perfectly
elastic, so their mutual collisions result in the interchange of velocities only. Only collisions
with the walls of the container contribute to the pressure by the gas molecules. Let us focus
on a molecule having velocity v1 and components of velocity v X1 , v y1 , v z1 along x, y and
z-axis as shown in figure. G H

3.1 Co-ordinate of the gases


(P, V, T) is the coordinate of the gas
If initial condition of gas is given by (P1 V1 T1) and final condition of gas is given by (P2, V2 T2)
such as
(P1 V1 T1) (P2 V2 T2)
Then (P, V, T) define situation of gas. When a gas changes from one coordinate system to
another co-ordinate system, then we have to follow a process.

4. GAS LAWS
Assuming permanent gases to be ideal, through experiments, it was established that gases
irrespective of their nature obey the following laws :

4.1 Boyle's Law


According to this law, for a given mass of a gas the volume of a gas at constant temperature
(called isothermal process) is inversely proportional to its pressure, i.e.,
1
V (T = constant)
P
or PV = constant
or PiVi = Pf Vf
Thus, P – V graph in an isothermal process is a rectangular hyperbola. Or PV versus P or V
graph is a straight line parallel to P or V axis.

T = constant

V P or V

4.2 Charle's law


According to this law, for a given mass of a gas the volume of a gas at constant pressure
(called) isobaric process) is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, i.e.,
VT
V
or = constant
T

Thus, V – T graph in an isobaric process is a straight line passing through origin. Or V/T

[Note : - The actual formula of is not in JEE syllabus.]
dv
Figure shows the distribution curves for two different temperatures. At any temperature the
number of molecules in a given speed interval dv is given by the area under the curve in that
interval (shown shaded). This number increases, as the speed increases, upto a maximum
and then decreases asymptotically toward zero. Thus, maximum number of the molecules
have speed lying within a small range centered about the speed corresponding the peak (A)
of the curve. This speed is called the ‘most probable speed’ vp or vmp.

dv
The distribution curve is asymmetrical about its peak (the most probable speed vp) because
the lowest possible speed is zero, whereas there is no limit to the upper speed a molecule can
attain. Therefore, the average speed v is slightly larger than the most probable speed vp.
The root-mean-square speed, vrms, is still larger /(vrms > v > vp).
Average (or Mean) Speed :

(derivation is not in the course)


RMS Speed :

vrms = (v2 ) = M0 = = 1.73

Most Probable Speed :
The most probable speed vp or vmp is the speed possessed by the maximum number of
molecules, and corresponds to the maximum (peak) of the distribution curve. Mathematically,
it is obtained by the condition.
dN( v)

Hence the most probable speed is

7. INTERNAL ENERGY
The internal energy of a system is the sun of kinetic and potential energies of the molecules
of the system. It is denoted by U. Internal energy (U) of the system is the function of its
absolute temperature (T) and its volume (V). i.e. U = f(T , V)
In case of an ideal gas, intermolecular force is zero. Hence its potential energy is also zero. In
this case, the internal energy is only due to kinetic energy. Which depends on the absolute
f
temperature of the gas. i.e. U = f(T). For an ideal gas internal energy U = nRT.

8. THERMODYNAMICS
Thermodynamics is mainly the study of exchange of heat energy between bodies and conversion
of the same into mechanical energy and vice versa.
Thermodynamic System
Collection of an extremely large number of atoms or molecules confined within certain boundaries
such that it has a certain value of pressure (P),volume (V) and temperature (T) is called a
thermodynamic system. Anything outside the thermodynamic system to which energy or
matter is exchanged is called its surroundings. Taking into consideration the interaction
between a system and its surroundings thermodynamic system is divided into three classes :
(a) Open system : A system is said to be an open system if it can exchange both energy
and matter with its surroundings.
(b) Closed system : A system is said to be closed system if it can exchange only energy
(not matter with its surrounding
(c) Isolated system : A system is said to be isolated if it can neither exchange energy nor
matter with its surroundings.
Zeroth law of Thermodynamics :
If two systems (B and C) are separately in thermal equilirbrium with a third one (A), then they
the mselves are in thermal equilibrium with each other.

Equation of State (for ideal gases) :


The relation between the thermodynamic variables (P, V, T) of the system is called equation
of state. The equation of state for an ideal gas of n moles is given by
PV = nRT,
Work done by a gas :
Let P and V be the pressure and volume of the gas. If A be the area of the piston. then force
exerted by gas on the piston is, F = P × A
Let the piston move through a small distance dx during the expansion of the gas. Work done
for a small displacement dx is dW = F dx = PA dx
Since A dx = dV, increase in volume of the gas is dV
 dW = P dV

Sol. The change in internal energy during the cyclic

The work done by the gas during the process CA is zero as the volume remains constant.
From (i)

9. FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS


The first law of thermodynamics is the law of conservation of energy. It states that if a
system absorbs heat dQ and as a result the internal energy of the system changes by dU and
the system does a work dW, then dQ = dU + dW
But, dW = P dV dQ = dU + P dV
which is the mathematical statement of first law of thermodynamics.
Heat gained by a system, work done by a system and increase in internal energy are
taken as positive.
Heat lost by a system, work done on a system and decrease in internal energy are
taken as negative.

Ex.19 1 gm water at 100°C is heated to convert into steam at 100°C at 1 atm. Find out
change in internal energy of water. It is given that volume of 1 gm water at 100°C = 1
cc. volume of 1 gm steam at 100°C = 1671 cc. Latent heat of vaporization = 540 cal/g.
(Mechanical equivalent of heat J = 4.2 J/cal.)
Sol. From first law of thermodynamic Q = u + w
Q = mL = 1 × 540 cal. = 540 cal.

Sol. (a) In the part ab the volume remains constant. Thus, the work done by the gas s zero. The
heat absorbed by the gas is 50 J. The increase in internal energy from a to b is
U = Q = 50 J.
As the internal energy is 1550 J at a, it will be 1550 J at b. In the part bc, the work done by
the gas is W = –40J and no heat is given to the system. The increase in internal energy from
b to c is
U = – W = 40 J.
As the internal energy is 1550 J at b, it will be 1590 J at C.
(b) The change in internal energy, from c to a is
U = 1500 J – 1590 J = –90 J
The heat given to the system is Q = – 70 J
Using Q = U + W,
Wca = Q – U = – 70 J + 90 J = 20 J.

Ex.22 The internal energy of a monatomic ideal gas is 1.5 nRT. One mole of helium is kept in
a cylinder of cross-section 8.5 cm2. The cylinder is closed by a light frictionless piston.
The gas is heated slowly in a process during which a total of 42 J heat is given to the
gas. If the temperature rises through 2°C, find the distance moved by the piston.
Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa.
Sol. The change in internal energy of the gas is
U = 1.5 nR (T)
= 1.5 (1 mol) (8.3 J/mol-K) (2K)
= 24.9 J
The heat given to the gas = 42 J
The work done by the gas is
W = Q – U = 42 J – 24.9 J = 17.1 J
If the distance moved by the piston is x, the work done is
W = (100 kPa) (8.5 cm2) x.
Thus, (105 N/m2) (8.5 × 10–4 m2) x = 17.1 J
or, x = 0.2 m = 20 cm.

Ex.23 A sample of an ideal gas has pressure p0, volume v0 and temperature T0. It is
isothermally expanded to twice its original volume. It is then compressed at constant
pressure to have the original volume V0. Finally, the gas is heated at constant volume
to get the original temperature. (a) Show the process in a V - T diagram (b) Calculate
the heat absorbed in the process.
Sol. (a) The V-T diagram for the process is shown in figure. The initial state is represented by the
point a. In the first step, it is isothermally expanded to a volume 2V0. This shown by ab. Then
the pressure is kept constant and the gas is compressed to the volume V0. From the ideal gas
equation, V/T is constant at constant pressure. Hence, the process is shown by a line bc
which passes through the origin. At point c, the volume is V0. ln the final step, the gas is
heated at constant volume to a temperature T0. This is shown by ca. The final state is the
same as the initial state.
(b) The process is cylic so that the change in
internal energy is zero. The heat supplied is, V b
therefore, equal to the work done by the gas.
The work done during ab is 2V0

In the step bc, the pressure remains constant. Hence the work done is,

W2 = (V0 – 2V0) = – 0 0

In the step ca, the volume remains constant and so the work done is zero. The net work
done by the gas in the cyclic process is

Hence, the heat supplied to the gas is 0.193 p0V0.

the temperature changes from T1 to T2.

m of the substance and its temperature rises by T, the specific heat capacity s is given by
equation
Q
s=
mT
The molar heat capacities of a gas are defined as the heat given per mole of the gas per unit
rise in the temperature. The molar heat capacity at constant volume, denoted by Cv, is :

 Q  f
Cv =  nT   R
 cons tan t volume 2
and the molar heat capacity at constant pressure, denoted by Cp is,

 Q  f 
CP =  nT     1 R
 cons tan t Pr essure 2 
where n is the amount of the gas in number of moles and f is degree of freedom. Quite often,
the term specific heat capacity or specific heat is used for molar heat capacity. It is advised
that the unit be carefully noted to determine the actual meaning. The unit of specific heat
capacity is J/kg-K whereas that of molar heat capacity is J/mol-K.

Ex.29 Calculate the value of mechanical equivalent of heat from the following data. Specific
heat capacity of air at constant volume = 170 cal/kg-K,  = Cp/Cv = 1.4. and the density
of air at STP is 1.29 kg/m3. Gas constant R = 8.3 J/mol-K
Sol. Using pV = nRT, the volume of 1 mole of air at STP is
nRT (1mol)  (8.3 J / mol – K)  (273K)
V= = = 0.0224 m3.
p 1.0  105 N / m2
The mass of 1 mole is, therefore,
(1.29 kg/m3) × (0.0224 m3) = 0.029 kg.

The number of moles in 1 kg is . The molar heat capacity at constant volume is

CV = = 4.93 cal/mol-K

Hence, Cp = Cv = 1.4 × 4.93 cal/mol-K
or, Cp – Cv = 0.4 × 4.93 cal/mol-K =1.97 cal/mol-K
Thus, 8.3 J = 1.97 cal.

ADIABATIC PROCESS
When no heat is supplied or extracted from the system the
process is called adiabatic. Process is sudden so that there is insulating
no time for exchange of heat. If walls of a container are thermally wall
insulated no heat can cross the boundary of the system and
Gas
process is adiabatic.

Ex.30 A quantity of air is kept in a container having walls which are slightly conducting. The
initial temperature and volume are 27°C (equal to the temperature of the surrounding)
and 800 cm3 respectively. Find the rise in the temperature if the gas is compressed to
200 cm3 (a) in a short time (b) in a long time. Take  = 1.4.

(b) When the gas is compressed in a long time, the process is isothermal. Thus, the temperature
remains equal to the temperature of the surrounding that is 27°C. The rise in temperature = 0.

Free Expansion
If a system, say a gas expands in such a way that no heat enters or leaves the system and
also no work is done by or on the system, then the expansion is called the “free expansion”.
Q = 0, U = 0 and W = 0. Temperature in the free expansion remains constant.
Ex.33 A nonconducting cylinder having volume 2V0 is partitioned by a fixed nonconducting
wall in two equal part. Partition is attached with a valve. Right side of the partition is a
vaccum and left part is filled with a gas having pressure and temperature P0 and T0
respectively. If valve is opened find the final pressure and temperature of the two

Sol. From the first law thermodynamics Q = u + W


Since gas expands freely therefore W = 0, since no heat is given to gas Q = 0
 u = 0 and temperature remains constant.
Tfinal = T0
Since the process is isothermal therefore
P0 × V0 = Pfinal × 2V0
 Pfinal = P0/2
Reversible and Irreversible Process
A process is said to be reversible when the various stages of an operation in which it is
subjected can be traversed the back in the opposite direction in such a way that substance
passes through exactly the same conditions at every step in the reverse process as in the
direct process.

Limitations of Ist Law of Thermodynamics :
The first law of thermodynamics tells us that heat and mechanical work are interconvertible.
However, this law fails to explain the following points :
(i) It does not tell us about the direction of transfer of heat.
(ii) It does not tell us about the conditions under which heat energy is converted into work.
(iii) It does not tell us whether some process is possible or not.
