medium
A diatomic gas initially at $18^o C$ is compressed adiabatically to one-eighth of its original volume. The temperature after compression will be
A
${10^o}C$
B
${887^o}C$
C
$668K$
D
${144^o}C$
(AIPMT-1996)
Solution
$T{V^{\gamma – 1}} = $ constant
$ \Rightarrow {T_2} = {T_1}{\left( {\frac{{{V_1}}}{{{V_2}}}} \right)^{\gamma – 1}} $$= (273 + 18)\;{\left( {\frac{V}{{V/8}}} \right)^{0.4}} = 668\;K$
