With what minimum pressure (in kPa), a given volume of an ideal gas `(C_(p,m)=7//2R)` originally at 400 K and 100 kPa pressure can be compressed irreversibly adiabatically in order to raise its temperature to 600 K :

A

362.5 kPa

B

275 kPa

C

437.5 kPa

D

550 kPa

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

For an adiabatic irreversible compression,
`DeltaU=w`
`thereforenC_(v,m)(T_(2)-T_(1))=-P_("ext")(V_(2)-V_(1))` here `P_("ext")=P_(2)`
`nC_(v,m)(T_(2)-T_(1))=-P_(2)[(nRT)/(P_(2))-(nRT_(1))/(P_(1))]`
`implies (5)/(2)R(T_(2)-T_(1))=-P_(2)xxR[(T_(2))/(P_(2))-(T_(1))/(P_(1))]`
`implies" "P_(2)=275 " kPa"`
