The relation obeyed by a perfect gas during an adiabatic process is \(\mathrm{PV}^{3 / 2}=\) constant. The initial temperature of the gas is ' \(\mathrm{T}\) '. when the gas is compressed to half of its Initial volume, the final temperature of the gas is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\mathrm{PV}^{3 / 2}=\) constant or \(\mathrm{TV}^{1 / 2}=\) constant
\( \begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{T}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1^{1 / 2}=\mathrm{T}_2 \mathrm{~V}_2^{1 / 2} \\ & \frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}\right)^{1 / 2}=\sqrt{2} \\ & \mathrm{~T}_2=\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~T}_1=\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~T} \end{aligned} \)
