The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of comparing the final pressures of monatomic, diatomic, and triatomic gases when compressed to half their initial volume, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the Initial Conditions**: - All gases (monatomic, diatomic, and triatomic) start with the same initial volume (V₀) and initial pressure (P₀). 2. **Determine the Final Volume**: - The gases are compressed to half of their initial volume, so the final volume (V_f) is: \[ V_f = \frac{V₀}{2} \] 3. **Apply the Ideal Gas Law**: - The ideal gas law states: \[ PV = nRT \] - Since the number of moles (n) and the temperature (T) are constant for each gas during the compression process, we can analyze the pressure change. 4. **Consider the Type of Compression**: - We need to consider two types of processes: **adiabatic** and **isothermal**. 5. **For Isothermal Compression**: - In an isothermal process, the temperature remains constant. Therefore, we can use the relationship: \[ P₀V₀ = P_fV_f \] - Substituting \(V_f = \frac{V₀}{2}\): \[ P₀V₀ = P_f \left(\frac{V₀}{2}\right) \] - Rearranging gives: \[ P_f = 2P₀ \] - Thus, the final pressure for all gases in an isothermal process is twice the initial pressure. 6. **For Adiabatic Compression**: - For adiabatic processes, the relationship between pressure and volume is given by: \[ PV^\gamma = \text{constant} \] - Here, \(\gamma\) (gamma) is the heat capacity ratio (C_p/C_v): - For monatomic gases, \(\gamma = \frac{5}{3}\) - For diatomic gases, \(\gamma = \frac{7}{5}\) - For triatomic gases, \(\gamma\) is typically around \(\frac{8}{6}\) or \(\frac{4}{3}\) depending on the specific gas. 7. **Calculate Final Pressure for Each Gas Type**: - For monatomic gas: \[ P_f = P₀ \left(\frac{V₀}{V_f}\right)^\gamma = P₀ \left(\frac{V₀}{\frac{V₀}{2}}\right)^{\frac{5}{3}} = P₀ \cdot 2^{\frac{5}{3}} \] - For diatomic gas: \[ P_f = P₀ \left(\frac{V₀}{\frac{V₀}{2}}\right)^{\frac{7}{5}} = P₀ \cdot 2^{\frac{7}{5}} \] - For triatomic gas: \[ P_f = P₀ \left(\frac{V₀}{\frac{V₀}{2}}\right)^{\frac{4}{3}} = P₀ \cdot 2^{\frac{4}{3}} \] 8. **Compare Final Pressures**: - The final pressures will differ based on the value of \(\gamma\): - Monatomic: \(P_f = P₀ \cdot 2^{\frac{5}{3}}\) - Diatomic: \(P_f = P₀ \cdot 2^{\frac{7}{5}}\) - Triatomic: \(P_f = P₀ \cdot 2^{\frac{4}{3}}\) 9. **Conclusion**: - The monatomic gas will have the highest final pressure, followed by diatomic, and then triatomic gases.
