A gas at NTP is suddenly compressed to one-fourth of its original volume. If  γ  is supposed to be  32, then the final pressure is

a
4 atmosphere
b
32atmosphere
c
8 atmosphere
d
14atmosphere

detailed solution

Correct option is C

PVγ= constant ⇒P2P1=V1V2γ⇒P21=V1V1/43/2=8⇒P2=8atm

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initial thermodynamic state at pressure P1=105Pa and volume Vi=103m3  changes to final state at Pf=132×105pa&Vf=8×103m3in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that P3V5= constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system form the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at Pi followed by an isochoric (is volumetric) process at volumeVf. The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two-step process is approximately
