A monoatomic gas is suddenly compressed ...

A monoatomic gas is suddenly compressed to `1//8` of its original volume adiabatically. The pressure of gas will change to :

A

`8` times

B

`16` times

C

`32` times

D

`24//5` times

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`PV^(gamma)`=constant
`P_(1)xx(V/8)^(gamma)=constant`
`:. (P_(1))/Pxx(1/8)^(gamma)=1`
or `P_(1)=P.8^(gamma)`
or `=P.(8)^(5//3)=32 P`
