The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to use the relationship between pressure and density for an adiabatic process involving a diatomic gas. The relevant equations are derived from the principles of thermodynamics and the kinetic theory of gases. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between pressure and density in an adiabatic process:** For an adiabatic process, the relationship between pressure (P) and density (d) for a gas is given by: \[ P \propto d^{\gamma} \] where \(\gamma\) is the adiabatic index. For a diatomic gas, \(\gamma = \frac{7}{5}\). 2. **Set up the initial and final conditions:** Let the initial pressure and density be \(P\) and \(d\), respectively. The final pressure and density after the adiabatic change are \(P^1\) and \(d^2\). We are given that: \[ \frac{d^1}{d} = 32 \] This means that the final density \(d^1\) is 32 times the initial density \(d\): \[ d^1 = 32d \] 3. **Apply the adiabatic relation:** Using the relationship \(P \propto d^{\gamma}\), we can express the initial and final states as: \[ P \propto d^{\frac{7}{5}} \quad \text{and} \quad P^1 \propto (d^1)^{\frac{7}{5}} \] 4. **Relate the pressures using the densities:** From the proportionality, we can write: \[ \frac{P^1}{P} = \left(\frac{d^1}{d}\right)^{\frac{7}{5}} \] Substituting \(d^1 = 32d\): \[ \frac{P^1}{P} = \left(32\right)^{\frac{7}{5}} \] 5. **Calculate \(32^{\frac{7}{5}}\):** We can simplify this expression: \[ 32 = 2^5 \Rightarrow 32^{\frac{7}{5}} = (2^5)^{\frac{7}{5}} = 2^7 = 128 \] 6. **Final result:** Therefore, the ratio of the final pressure to the initial pressure is: \[ \frac{P^1}{P} = 128 \] ### Conclusion: The final answer is: \[ \frac{P^1}{P} = 128 \]
