A polyatomic gas  γ=43 is compressed to 18 of its volume adiabatically. If its initial pressure is P0, its new pressure will be

a
8P0
b
16P0
c
6P0
d
2P0

detailed solution

Correct option is B

P2P1=V1V2γ⇒P2=P1V1V2γ=P0(8)4/3=16P0

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
