Question

A monoatomic gas having γ = is stored in a thermally insulated container and the gas is suddenly compressed to th of its initial volume. The ratio of final pressure and initial pressure is : ( γ is the ratio of specific heats of the gas at constant pressure and at constant volume)

Accepted Answer

Answer: 32 — γ = 5/3 PVγ = constant P1V1γ = P2V2γ P2/P1 = (V1/V2)γ = (8)5/3 = 32
