Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 819

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V =\sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT }{ M }}\)
\(\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{\sqrt{T_1}}{\sqrt{T_2}}\)
\(\frac{ V _0}{2 V_0}=\sqrt{\frac{273}{T_2}}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}=\frac{273}{T_2}\)
\(T _2=4 \times 273=\alpha+273\)
\(\alpha=3 \times 273\)
\(\alpha=819^{\circ} C\)
