Question

A monatomic gas is suddenly compressed to (1/8)th of its initial volume adiabatically. The ratio of its final pressure to the initial pressure is
(Given, the ratio of the specific heats of the given gas to be 5/3).
  1. 40/3
  2. 24/5
  3. 32
  4. 8

A
40/3
B
8
C
32
D
24/5
Solution
Verified by Toppr

It is given that CpCv=γ=53
For an adiabatic process,
P1Vγ1=P2Vγ2
P2P1=(V1V2)5/3
=(81)5/3=32
