A work of \(166.28 \mathrm{~J}\) is done to adiabatically compress one mole of a gas. If the increase in the temperature of the gas is \(8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the gas is
\(\left(\mathrm{R}=8.314 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\right)\)

  1. A monatomic
  2. B diatomic
  3. C polyatomic
  4. D mixture of diatomic and polyatomic
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) diatomic

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Work done on the system, \(\mathrm{W}=166.28 \mathrm{~J}\) Increase in temperature, \(\Delta \mathrm{T}=\mathrm{T}_2-\mathrm{T}_1=8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) Work done in adiabatic process,…
