During an adiabatic process , the pressure of a gas is proportional to the cube of its temperature . The value of `C_(I)//C_(v)` for that gas is

A

`(7)/(5)`

B

`(4)/(5)`

C

`(5)/(3)`

D

`(3)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`implies P prop T^(3) ` (Given)
`implies P =K*T^(3)`
`implies P =K ((PV)/ R )^(3)` `(because PV = RT)`
`implies P = (K)/(R^(3))(PV)^(3)`
`therefore P^(2) V^(3) =K ` `(because (K)/(R^(3)) = Constant )`
Taking square root on both sides
`PV^(3//2) = K `
On comparing with the equation , PV = K
`therefore gamma = 3//2`
