Question

Assertion: When a bottle of cold carbonated drink is opened a slight fog forms around the opening. Reason: Adiabatic expansion of the gas causes lowering of temperature and condensation of water vapours.

Assertion: In adiabatic compression, the internal energy and temperature of the system get decreased. Reason: The adiabatic compression is a slow process

Assertion: The specific heat of a gas is an adiabatic process is zero and in an isothermal process is infinite. Reason: Specific heat of a gas in directly proportional to change of heat in system and inversely proportional to change in temperature.

For an ideal gas, the equation of state is the ideal gas relation PV = µRT. For a fixed amount of the gas i.e. given µ, there are thus, only two independent variables, say P and V or T and V. The pressure-volume curve for a fixed temperature is called an isotherm. The thermodynamic state variables are of two kinds: extensive and intensive. Extensive variables indicate the 'size' of the system. Intensive variables such as pressure and temperature do not. To decide which variable is extensive and which intensive, think of a relevant system in equilibrium, and imagine that it is divided into two equal parts. The variables that remain unchanged for each part are Intensive.
