The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the adiabatic constant (γ) for a one mole of an ideal gas that expands adiabatically under the condition that its temperature \( T \) is inversely proportional to \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{V}} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Relationship**: The problem states that \( T \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{V}} \). This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ T = k \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{V}} \] where \( k \) is a constant. 2. **Rearranging the Equation**: We can rewrite the equation as: \[ T \sqrt{V} = k \] This indicates that the product \( T \sqrt{V} \) remains constant during the process. 3. **Using the Ideal Gas Law**: The ideal gas law states: \[ PV = nRT \] For one mole of gas (\( n = 1 \)): \[ PV = RT \] From this, we can express pressure \( P \) as: \[ P = \frac{RT}{V} \] 4. **Substituting Pressure into the Adiabatic Condition**: The adiabatic condition for an ideal gas is given by: \[ PV^\gamma = \text{constant} \] Substituting for \( P \): \[ \left(\frac{RT}{V}\right)V^\gamma = \text{constant} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ RTV^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant} \] 5. **Comparing the Two Constants**: We have two expressions that are constant: - From the temperature relationship: \( T \sqrt{V} = k \) - From the adiabatic process: \( RTV^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant} \) Since both are constants, we can set them equal: \[ T \sqrt{V} \propto RTV^{\gamma - 1} \] 6. **Substituting for \( T \)**: Substitute \( T = \frac{k}{\sqrt{V}} \) into the adiabatic equation: \[ \frac{k}{\sqrt{V}} \cdot \sqrt{V} \propto R V^{\gamma - 1} \] This simplifies to: \[ k \propto R V^{\gamma - 1} \] 7. **Equating Powers of \( V \)**: From the relationship \( T \sqrt{V} = k \) and \( RTV^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant} \), we can compare the powers of \( V \): \[ \frac{1}{2} = \gamma - 1 \] Solving for \( \gamma \): \[ \gamma - 1 = \frac{1}{2} \implies \gamma = 1 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \] 8. **Conclusion**: The value of the adiabatic constant \( \gamma \) is: \[ \gamma = \frac{3}{2} \text{ or } 1.5 \] ### Final Answer: The value of the adiabatic constant \( \gamma \) is \( \frac{3}{2} \) or 1.5.
