Question

An ideal gas at pressure 2.5 x 10⁵ Pa and temperature 300 K occupies 100 cc. It is adiabatically compressed to half its original volume. Calculate (a) the final pressure, (b) the final temperature and (c). the work done by the gas in the process. Take γ = 1.5.

Answer 1

P₁ = 2.5 × 10⁵ Pa, V₁ = 100 cc, T₁ = 300 k

(c) Work done by the gas in the process
