A monoatomic gas having = 53 is stored in a thermally insulated container and the gas is suddenly compressed to ( 18 )th of its initial volume. The ratio of final pressure and initial pressure is: ( is the ratio of specific heats of the gas at constant pressure and at constant volume)
- 16
- 32
- 28
- 40
Answer
(2) 32
Solution
Sudden compression in an insulated container is adiabatic: PV = constant
P2P1 = ( V1V2 ) = (8) 53 = (23) 53 = 25 = 32
Answer: (2)
