Two identical samples of a gas expands so that volume is doubled. The first sample undergoes isothermal expansion while the second is expanded adiabatically. The final pressure:

A

in first sample is greater

B

in second sample is greater

C

equal in both samples

D

nothing can be said.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Since slope of adiabatic graph is `gamma`-times more than slope of isothermal process. These final pressure is more is isothermal process than adiabatic process.
Thus, correct choice is (a).
