Q. One mole of an ideal gas undergoes a process $P=\frac{P_{0}}{1+\left(V_{0} / V\right)^{2}} .$ Here $P_{0}$ and $V_{0}$ are constants. The change in temperature of the gas when volume is changed from $V=V_{0}$ to $V=2 V_{0}$ is $\frac{x P_{0} V_{0}}{10 R} .$ Find $x$.
(Here $R=$ Universal gas constant)

Kinetic Theory

Solution:

$P V=n R T$
At $V=V_{0}: R T_{1}=\left(\frac{P_{0}}{2}\right)\left(V_{0}\right)$
At $V=2 V_{0}: R T_{2}=\left(\frac{4 P_{0}}{5}\right)\left(2 V_{0}\right)$
$\Rightarrow T_{2}-T_{1}=\frac{11 P_{0}\, V_{0}}{10 R}$
