Q.

The initial pressure and volume of an ideal gas are P0 and V0. The final pressure of the gas when the gas is suddenly compressed to volume V04 will be:  (Given γ= ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume)                [2023]

1 P0(4)1/γ  
2 P0(4)γ  
3 P0  
4 4P0  

Ans.

(2)

As gas is suddenly compressed, the process is adiabatic.

Equation of gas for adiabatic process is PVγ=constant

  P1V1γ=P2V2γ

  P0V0γ=P2(V04)γ

  P2=P0(4)γ

Option (2) is correct.
