Question

A monoatomic gas at pressure P1 and volume V1 is compressed adiabatically to 18th of its original volume. What is the final pressure of the gas
  1. P1
  2. 64P1
  3. 16P1
  4. 32P1

A
64P1
B
32P1
C
16P1
D
P1
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Ideal gas equation, for an adiabatic process is
PVγ= constant or P1Vγ1=P2Vγ2
For monoatomic gas γ=53
P1V5/31=P2(V18)5/3
P2=P1×(2)5=32P1
