The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the initial adiabatic bulk modulus of a monoatomic ideal gas to its final value after the gas has been compressed to 12.5% of its initial volume. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Process**: - The gas is compressed slowly to 12.5% of its initial volume. This indicates that the process is adiabatic (no heat exchange), which means \( \Delta Q = 0 \). 2. **Initial and Final Volumes**: - Let the initial volume be \( V_0 \). - The final volume after compression is given by: \[ V_f = 12.5\% \text{ of } V_0 = \frac{12.5}{100} V_0 = \frac{V_0}{8} \] 3. **Bulk Modulus Definition**: - The bulk modulus \( \beta \) is defined as: \[ \beta = -V \frac{dP}{dV} \] - For an adiabatic process, the relationship between pressure and volume is given by: \[ PV^\gamma = \text{constant} \] - Here, \( \gamma \) for a monoatomic ideal gas is \( \frac{5}{3} \). 4. **Differentiating the Adiabatic Condition**: - Differentiate \( PV^\gamma = \text{constant} \) with respect to volume \( V \): \[ P \gamma V^{\gamma - 1} + V \frac{dP}{dV} \gamma V^{\gamma - 1} = 0 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ P \gamma + V \frac{dP}{dV} = 0 \implies \frac{dP}{dV} = -\frac{P \gamma}{V} \] 5. **Substituting into Bulk Modulus**: - Substitute \( \frac{dP}{dV} \) into the bulk modulus formula: \[ \beta = -V \left(-\frac{P \gamma}{V}\right) = P \gamma \] - Thus, the bulk modulus for the initial state is: \[ \beta_1 = P_0 \gamma \] - And for the final state: \[ \beta_2 = P_f \gamma \] 6. **Finding the Pressure Ratio**: - From the adiabatic condition: \[ P_0 V_0^\gamma = P_f V_f^\gamma \] - Substitute \( V_f = \frac{V_0}{8} \): \[ P_0 V_0^\gamma = P_f \left(\frac{V_0}{8}\right)^\gamma \] - Rearranging gives: \[ P_f = P_0 \left(\frac{V_0}{\frac{V_0}{8}}\right)^\gamma = P_0 \cdot 8^\gamma \] 7. **Calculating the Ratio of Bulk Moduli**: - Now, the ratio of the bulk moduli is: \[ \frac{\beta_1}{\beta_2} = \frac{P_0 \gamma}{P_f \gamma} = \frac{P_0}{P_f} \] - Substitute \( P_f = P_0 \cdot 8^\gamma \): \[ \frac{\beta_1}{\beta_2} = \frac{P_0}{P_0 \cdot 8^\gamma} = \frac{1}{8^\gamma} \] 8. **Substituting \( \gamma \)**: - For a monoatomic gas, \( \gamma = \frac{5}{3} \): \[ 8^\gamma = 8^{\frac{5}{3}} = (2^3)^{\frac{5}{3}} = 2^5 = 32 \] - Therefore: \[ \frac{\beta_1}{\beta_2} = \frac{1}{32} \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of the initial adiabatic bulk modulus to the final adiabatic bulk modulus is: \[ \frac{\beta_1}{\beta_2} = \frac{1}{32} \]
