An ideal gas at initial temperature \(T_0\) and initial volume \(V_0\) is expanded adiabatically to a volume \(2 V_0\). The gas is then expanded isothermally to a volume \(5 V_0\) and there after compressed adiabatically so that the temperature of the gas becomes again \(T_0\). If the final volume of the gas is \(\alpha V_0\), then the value of constant \(\alpha\) is

  1. A 2.5
  2. B 1.5
  3. C 2
  4. D 3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2.5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For adiabatic expansion, \[ T_1 V_1^{\gamma-1}=T_2 V_2^{\gamma-1} \Rightarrow \frac{T_2}{T_1}=\left(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\right)^{\gamma-1} \] Here, \(T_1=T_0\)…
