An ideal gas at pressure \(P\) and temperature \(T\) is expanding such that \(PT^3 = \) constant. The coefficient of volume expansion of the gas is _______.

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\dfrac{4}{T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the process equation for the ideal gas: \(PT^3 = \text{constant}\) From the ideal gas equation, \(PV = nRT\), which gives \(P = \dfrac{nRT}{V}\). Substituting \(P\) into the process equation: \(\left(\dfrac{nRT}{V}\right) T^3 = \text{constant}\)…
