    During the adiabatic process, the pressure of a gas is found to be proportional to the cube of its absolute temperature. The ratio \[{{\text{C}}_{\text{p}}}\text{/}{{\text{C}}_{\text{v}}}\] for the gas is

    A)  4/3                                       

    B)  2

    C)  5/3                       

    D)         3/2

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given:\[P\propto {{T}^{3}}\] In an adiabatic process \[{{T}^{\gamma }}{{P}^{1-\gamma }}=\]constant                 \[T\propto \frac{1}{{{p}^{(1-\gamma )/\gamma }}}\]                 \[{{T}^{(\gamma /\gamma -1)}}\propto P\] Comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{\gamma }{\gamma -1}=3\]                 \[3\gamma -3=\gamma \]                 \[2\gamma =3\]                 \[\frac{{{C}_{P}}}{{{C}_{V}}}=\gamma =\frac{3}{2}\]
