An ideal gas at \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is compressed adiabatically to (8/27) of its original volume. If ratio of specific heats, \(\gamma=5 / 3\) then the rise in temperature of the gas is

  1. A \(500 \mathrm{~K}\)
  2. B \(125 \mathrm{~K}\)
  3. C \(250 \mathrm{~K}\)
  4. D \(375 \mathrm{~K}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(375 \mathrm{~K}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For an adiabatic process \(\mathrm{TV}^{\gamma-1}=\) constant
\(\therefore \frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}\right)^{\gamma-1}=\left(\frac{27}{8}\right)^{\frac{5}{3}-1}=\left(\frac{27}{8}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}=\) \(\frac{9}{4} \)
\( \therefore \mathrm{T}_2=\frac{9}{4} \cdot \mathrm{T}_1=\frac{9}{4} \times 300=675 \mathrm{~K} \)
\( \therefore \mathrm{T}_2-\mathrm{T}_1=675-300=375 \mathrm{~K}\)
