(R - Universal gas constant)

  1. A 307 R
  2. B 357 R
  3. C 367 R
  4. D \(407 R\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 307 R

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Monoatomic gas: \(\gamma=5/3\) \(\frac{T_2}{T_1} = \left(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\right)^{\gamma-1} = \left(\frac{5.6}{0.7}\right)^{5/3-1} = 8^{2/3} = 4\) Work done on gas: \(W = \frac{nR(T_2-T_1)}{\gamma-1} = \frac{nR(4T_1-T_1)}{5/3-1} = \frac{3nRT_1}{2/3} = \frac{9}{2}nRT_1\) Number of…
