A monatomic gas at a pressure of 100 kPa expands adiabatically such that its final volume becomes 8 times its initial volume. If the work done during the process is 180 J, then the initial volume of the gas is

  1. A \(1600 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)
  2. B \(800 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)
  3. C \(1200 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)
  4. D \(2000 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1600 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a monatomic gas, \( \gamma = \frac{5}{3} \). The work done during an adiabatic process is \( W = \frac{P_1V_1}{\gamma - 1} \left[1 - \left(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\right)^{\gamma-1}\right] \).…
