 A monoatomic gas  (γ=5/3) is suddenly compressed to 18  of its original volume adiabatically, then the pressure of the gas will change to 

a
245
b
8
c
403
d
32 times its initial pressure

detailed solution

Correct option is D

PVγ= constant ⇒P2P1=V1V2γ⇒P2=(8)5/3P1=32P1

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
