A diatomic gas at pressure P , compressed adiabatically to half of its volume, what is the final pressure?
Options
- A(2)^ 1.4 P
- BP /(2)^ 1.4
- C(2)^ 5 / 3 P
- DP /(2)^ 5 / 3
Correct answer
A. (2)^ 1.4 P
Step-by-step solution
For adiabatic conditions, P V^ = Constant P₁ V₁^ =P₂ V₂^ ; V₂= 1 2 V₁P₂=P₁ ( V₁ V₂ )^ [For diatomic gas, =1.4 ] P₂=P₁ ( V₁ 2 V₁ )^ 1.4 P₂=P₁(2)^ 1.4 =(2)^ 1.4 P
