Initial pressure and volume of a gas are $ P$ and $V$ respectively. First it is expanded isothermally to volume $4V$ and then compressed adiabatically to volume $ V$. The final pressure of gas will be

A

$1P$

B

$2P$

C

$4P$

D

$8P$

Solution

(b) In isothermal process ${P_1}{V_1} = {P_2}{V_2}$ 

or $PV = {P_2} \times 4V$

$\therefore {P_2} = \frac{P}{4}$

In adiabatic process

${P_2}{V_2}^\gamma = {P_3}{V_3}^\gamma $==> $\frac{P}{4} \times {(4V)^{1.5}} = {P_2}{V^{1.5}}$==> ${P_3} = 2P$
