Question
The pressure of one mole of on mole of an ideal gas varies according to the law P = P0 - aV2, where P0 and a are positive constants. The highest temperature that the gas may may attain is :-
Options
A.
B.
C.
D.
Solution
P = P0 - aV2.
From ideal gas equation
PV = nRT
⇒ RT = (P0 - aV2) V (n = 1)
⇒ T =
⇒ V =
and V = 
(< 0)
∴ Tmax =
