Q.

A gas is kept in a container having walls which are thermally non-conducting. Initially the gas has a volume of 800 cm3 and temperature 27°C. The change in temperature when the gas is adiabatically compressed to 200 cm3 is:

(Take γ = 1.5 : γ is the ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume)                    [2025]

1 327 K  
2 600 K  
3 522 K  
4 300 K  

Ans.

(4)

V1=800 cm3, V2=200 cm3, T1=300 K

for adiabatic process, TVγ1 = const.

(300)(800)1.51=T2(200)1.51

T2=300[800200]0.5=300×(22)1/2

T2=600 K

T=600300=300 K
