294. Number of components (C), phase (P) and degrees of freedom (F) are related by Gibbs phase rule as

  1. P + F - C = 2
  2. C = P - F + 2
  3. F = C - P - 2
  4. P = F - C - 2

297. On a P-V diagram of an ideal gas, suppose a reversible adiabatic line intersects a reversible isothermal line at point A. Then at a point A, the slope of the reversible adiabatic line (∂P/∂V)s and the slope of the reversible isothermal line (∂P/∂V)T are related as (where, y = Cp/Cv)

  1. (∂P/∂V)S = (∂P/∂V)T
  2. (∂P/∂V)S = [(∂P/∂V)T]Y
  3. (∂P/∂V)S = y(∂P/∂V)T
  4. (∂P/∂V)S = 1/y(∂P/∂V)T

Correct answer: (C)
(∂P/∂V)S = y(∂P/∂V)T
