An ideal gas is expanding such that \(P T^2=\) constant. The coefficient of volume expansion of the gas is

  1. A \(\dfrac{T}{3}\)
  2. B \(3 T\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{2}{T}\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{3}{T}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\dfrac{3}{T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of state for an ideal gas is \(PV = nRT\). Given \(PT^{2} = C\), where \(C\) is a constant, we can write \(P = C T^{-2}\). Substituting this into the ideal gas equation, we get \((C T^{-2}) V = nRT\). Rearranging for \(V\), we have \(V = \dfrac{nR}{C} T^{3}\). The…
