An ideal monatomic gas with pressure P, volume V and temperature T is expanded isothermally to a volume 2V and a final pressure Pi. If the same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume 2 V, the final pressure is Pa. The ratio PaPi is

a
2-1/3
b
21/3
c
22/3
d
2-2/3

detailed solution

Correct option is D

For isothermal process: P V=Pi 2 V⇒P=2 Pi For adiabatic process PV53=Pa(2V)53⇒(2 Pi)V53=Pa(2V)53So, PaPi=2253⇒PaPi=2−23

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
