Question

One mole of a monatomic ideal gas is contained in a rigid container of volume V0 with walls of total surface area A, thickness x and thermal conductivity K. The gas is at an initial temperature T0 and pressure P0. Find the pressure of the gas as a function of time if the temperature of surrounding air is Ts. All the temperatures are in absolute scale.

Solution

The correct option is A
Because the volume of the gas is kept constant, a heat dQ given to the gas increases its temperature by dT=dQCv. Also, for a monatomic gas, Cv=(32)R. If the temperature of the gas at time t is T, then rate of flow of heat into the gas is -
dQdt=KA(TsT)xor, CvdTdt=KA(TsT)xor, 32RdTdt=KA(TsT)xor, dTdt=2KA3xR(TsT)or, TT0dTTsT=TT02KA3xRdtor, logTsT0TsT=2KA3xRtor, TsT=(TsT0)e2KA3xRtor T=Ts(TsT0)e2KA3xRt
As the volume remains constant,
PT=P0T0 or P=P0TT0or, P=P0T0(Ts)(TsT0)e2KA3xRt
