Kinetic Theory Of Gases Question 82

Question: During an adiabatic process, the pressure of a gas is found to be proportional to the cube of its absolute temperature. The ratio $ \frac{C _{p}}{C _{v}}=\gamma $ for the gas is

Options:

A) 2

B) 3/2

C) 5/3

D) 4/3

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] $ {{P}^{1-\gamma }}{{T}^{\gamma }}=\text{constant} $ or $ p\propto {{T}^{[ \gamma /( \gamma -1 ) ]}}$

$\text{ Here, }p\propto T^{3} $ or $ \frac{\gamma }{\gamma -1}=3\text{ or }\gamma =\frac{3}{2} $
