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

`32` times

C

`24//4` times

D

`40//3` times

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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