    A gas at NTP is suddenly compressed to one-fourth of its original volume. If \[\gamma \] is supposed to be 3/2, then the final pressure is :

    A)  4 arm          

    B)  \[\frac{3}{2}\]arm

    C)  8 aim          

    D)  \[\frac{1}{4}\]arm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The adiabatic relation between volume and pressure of a gas \[P{{V}^{\gamma }}=\] constant or \[{{P}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}^{\gamma }={{P}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}^{\gamma }\] or \[{{P}_{2}}={{P}_{1}}{{\left( \frac{{{V}_{1}}}{{{V}_{2}}} \right)}^{\gamma }}\] ... (i) Given, \[{{P}_{1}}=1\,atm\,,\,{{V}_{1}}=V,\,\,{{V}_{2}}=\frac{V}{4},\,\,\gamma =\frac{3}{2}\] Substituting in Eq. (i), we get \[{{P}_{2}}=1\times {{\left( \frac{V}{V/4} \right)}^{3/2}}={{(4)}^{3/2}}=8\,atm\]
