Consider two containers AandBA and B containing monoatomic gases at the same Pressure (P)\left(P\right), Volume \left(V\right)andTemperature(T)and Temperature \left(T\right). The gas in AA is compressed isothermally to 18\dfrac{1}{8} of its original volume while the gas in BB is compressed adiabatically to 18\dfrac{1}{8} of its original volume. The ratio of final pressure of gas in BB to that of gas in AA is

Options

  1. A88
  2. B44
  3. C8328\dfrac{3}{2}
  4. D18\dfrac{1}{8}

Correct answer

B. 44

Step-by-step solution

In an isothermal process the temperature is constant.

PV=nRTPV = nRT

So, it can be written that

PV=PA(V8)⇒PA=8PPV = {P}_{A}\left(\dfrac{V}{8}\right) ⇒ {P}_{A} = 8P

In an adiabatic process,

PVγ=P{V}^{\gamma} =constant

γ\gamma for monoatomic gas is 53\dfrac{5}{3}

So, it can be written

PBP=(VV8)53⇒PB=32P\dfrac{{P}_{B}}{P} = \left(\dfrac{V}{\dfrac{V}{8}}\right)\dfrac{5}{3} ⇒ {P}_{B} = 32P

Thus, the ratio of the pressures is

PBPA=32P8P=4\dfrac{{P}_{B}}{{P}_{A}} = \dfrac{32P}{8P} = 4
