A gas is suddenly compressed such that its absolute temperature is doubled. If the ratio of the specific heat capacities of the gas is 1.5, then the percentage decrease in the volume of the gas is

  1. A \(30\)
  2. B \(50\)
  3. C \(25\)
  4. D \(75\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(75\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T_1 V_1^{\gamma-1} = T_2 V_2^{\gamma-1} \Rightarrow \frac{V_2}{V_1} = \left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^{\frac{1}{\gamma-1}}\) \(\frac{V_2}{V_1} = \left(\frac{T_1}{2T_1}\right)^{\frac{1}{1.5-1}} = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{0.5}} = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{4}\)…
