A polyatomic gas (Y= 4 3 ) is compressed to ( 1 8 )^ th of its volume adiabatically. If its initial pressure is p , its new pressure will be

Step-by-step solution

For an adiabatic process: p V = constant Let initial pressure be p and volume V , then the final pressure is P and volume V 8 . aligned & p V^ 4 / 3 =P ( V 8 )^ 4 / 3 & P=8^ 4 / 3 p=16 p aligned
