Question
A monoatomic gas at pressure P1 and volume V1 is compressed adiabatically to 
of its original volume. What is the final pressure of the gas ?
of its original volume. What is the final pressure of the gas ?Options
A.64 P1
B.P1
C.16 P1
D.32 P1
Solution
Ideal gas equation, for an abiabatic process is
PVγ = constant or P1V1γ = P2V2γ
For monoatomic gas
∴ P1V15/3 = P2
⇒ P2 = P1 × (2)5 = 32P1
PVγ = constant or P1V1γ = P2V2γ
For monoatomic gas
∴ P1V15/3 = P2
⇒ P2 = P1 × (2)5 = 32P1Create a free account to view solution
