An ideal gas at pressure P and temperature T is expanding such that PT3 = constant. The coefficient of volume expansion of the gas is .
- 2T
- 1T
- 4T
- 3T
Answer
(3) 4T
Solution
Ideal gas: P= nRTV
PT3= constant nRTV T3= constant V T4
V=4 T+ constant dVV=4 dTT
Coefficient of volume expansion: = 1V dVdT
= 4T
Answer: (3)
