For an adiabatic expansion of a mono atomic perfect gas, the volume increases by 24 % . What is the percentage decrease in pressure?
Options
- A24 %
- B40 %
- C48 %
- D71 %
Correct answer
B. 40 %
Step-by-step solution
As we know that aligned p V^ & =K p V^ +p V^ -1 V & =0 aligned ( p p )=- ( V V ) For monoatomic gas, = 5 3 p p = 5 3 24 %=40 %
