JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 11. thermodynamics

The volume of an ideal gas increases 8 times and temperature becomes (1/4) of initial temperature during a reversible change. If there is no exchange of heat in this process (\( \Delta Q=0 \)) then identify the gas from the following options:

  1. A \( CO_{2} \)
  2. B \( O_{2} \)
  3. C \( NH_{3} \)
  4. D He
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) He

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( PV^{\gamma}=constant \) \( TV^{\gamma-1}=(\frac{T}{4})(8V)^{(\gamma-1)} \) \( 4=8^{(\gamma-1)} \) \( 2^{2}=2^{3\gamma-3} \) \( 2=3(\gamma-1) \) \( \gamma=\frac{5}{3} \) Gas is a monoatomic gas. Answer is He.
