    A litre of dry air at STP expands adiabatically to a volume of 3 litres. If \[\gamma =1.40\], the work done by air is \[\left( {{3}^{1.4}}=4.6555 \right)\] [Take air to be an ideal gas]                                                 [JEE MAIN Held on 07-01-2020 Morning]

    A)  90.5 J 

    B)       60.7 J

    C)  48 J                

    D)       100.8 J

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[{{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}\text{=1}\,\,\text{litre,}\,\,{{\text{P}}_{\text{1}}}\text{=1}\,\,\text{atm}\]
                \[{{\text{V}}_{2}}\text{=3}\,\,\text{litre,}\,\,\gamma \text{=1}\text{.40}\],
                \[{{P}_{2}}V_{2}^{\gamma }={{P}_{1}}V_{1}^{\gamma }\]
                \[\Rightarrow {{P}_{2}}={{P}_{1}}\times {{\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)}^{1.4}}=\frac{1}{4.6555}atm\]
                \[\therefore w=\frac{{{P}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}-{{P}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}}{\gamma -1}\]
                \[=\frac{\left( 1\times 1-\frac{1}{4.6555}\times 3 \right)1.01325\times {{10}^{5}}\times {{10}^{-3}}}{0.4}\]
                \[=90.1\,\,J\]
                Closest value of \[W=90.5\,\,J\]
