Question

A polyatomic gas (γ=43) is compressed to 18 of its volume adiabatically. If its initial pressure is P, the new pressure will be
  1. 8P
  2. 16P
  3. 6P
  4. 2P

A
8P
B
16P
C
2P
D
6P
Solution
Verified by Toppr

In an adiabatic process we have P×Vγ constant .
or
Pf=P(V1V2)43
Therefore if V become 1/8 . Substituting values in the equation will give final P to be 16P.
