A perfect gas is found to obey the relation PV3/2 = constant during an adiabatic process. If such a gas initially at a temperature T, is compressed to half of its initial volume, then its final temperature will be :

  • 2 T

  • 4T

  • (2)1/2 T

  • 2 (2)1/2 T

Solution

C.

(2)1/2 T

In adiabatic process the system is insulated from the surroundings and heat is absorbed or released. Adiabatic proceess of the ideal gas is PVγ = constant

where γ is the ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume.

Gas obeys the equation

     PV3/2 = constant

 

Comparing with PVγ= constant  γ = 32
