    An ideal monoatomic gas at \[{{27}^{o}}C\] is compressed adiabatically to 8/27 times of its present volume. The increase in temperature of the gas is:

    A)  \[{{375}^{o}}C\]                              

    B)  \[{{402}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[{{175}^{o}}C\]                              

    D)  \[{{475}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given : \[{{T}_{1}}=27+273=300K\]                 \[{{V}_{1}}=V\,(let)\]                 \[{{V}_{2}}=\frac{8}{27}V\] Then for adiabatic process                 \[{{T}_{1}}V_{1}^{\gamma -1}={{T}_{2}}V_{2}^{\gamma -1}\] or            \[{{T}_{2}}={{T}_{1}}{{\left( \frac{{{V}_{1}}}{{{V}_{2}}} \right)}^{\gamma -1}}\] For monoatomic gas, \[\gamma =5/3\] So,          \[{{T}_{2}}=300{{\left( \frac{V\times 27}{8\,V} \right)}^{\frac{5}{3}-1}}=675\,K\] \[i.e.,\] \[{{T}_{2}}=675-273={{402}^{o}}C\] Hence, increase in temperature                 \[=402-{{27}^{o}}={{375}^{o}}C\]
