Question 99 of 190
Consider two containers and containing monoatomic gases at the same Pressure , Volume and Temperature . The gas in is compressed isothermally to of its original volume while the gas in is compressed adiabatically to of its original volume. The ratio of final pressure of gas in to that of gas in is
Show answer and solution
Answer: (B)
In an isothermal process the temperature is constant.
So, it can be written that
In an adiabatic process,
constant
for monoatomic gas is
So, it can be written
Thus, the ratio of the pressures is
So, it can be written that
In an adiabatic process,
constant
for monoatomic gas is
So, it can be written
Thus, the ratio of the pressures is
