A diatomic ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to \(\frac{1}{32}\) of its initial volume. If the initial temperature of the gas is \(T_i\) \(T_i\) (in kelvin) and the final temperature is \(a T_i\), the value of \(a\) is

  1. A 2
  2. B 4
  3. C 6
  4. D 8
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In adiabatic process,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& T V^{\gamma-1}=\text { constant } \\
& \therefore T_i V_i^{0.4}=T_f V_f^{0.4} \\
& \text { (as } \gamma=1.4 \text { for diatomic gas) } \\
& \text { or } \quad T_i V_i^{0.4}=\left(\alpha T_i\right)\left(\frac{V_i}{32}\right)^{0.4} \\
& \text { or } \quad \alpha(32)^{0.4}=4\end{aligned}
\)
\(\therefore\) The correct answer is 4 .
