A mass of diatomic gas (γ=1.4\gamma=1.4) at a pressure of 2 atm2\text{ atm} is compressed adiabatically so that its temperature rises from 27C27^\circ\text{C} to 927C927^\circ\text{C}. The pressure of the gas in the final state is:

A

28 atm28\text{ atm}

B

68.7 atm68.7\text{ atm}

C

256 atm256\text{ atm}

D

8 atm8\text{ atm}

Step-by-Step Solution

For an adiabatic process, the relation between pressure and temperature is given by P1γTγ=constantP^{1-\gamma}T^\gamma = \text{constant}, which can be rearranged as P2P1=(T2T1)γγ1\frac{P_2}{P_1} = \left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^{\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1}}. Given: P1=2 atmP_1 = 2\text{ atm} T1=27C=27+273=300 KT_1 = 27^\circ\text{C} = 27 + 273 = 300\text{ K} T2=927C=927+273=1200 KT_2 = 927^\circ\text{C} = 927 + 273 = 1200\text{ K} γ=1.4=75\gamma = 1.4 = \frac{7}{5} Therefore, the power becomes γγ1=1.40.4=72\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1} = \frac{1.4}{0.4} = \frac{7}{2}. Substituting the values into the relation: P2=P1×(T2T1)γγ1=2×(1200300)72=2×(4)72=2×(22)72=2×27=2×128=256 atmP_2 = P_1 \times \left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^{\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1}} = 2 \times \left(\frac{1200}{300}\right)^{\frac{7}{2}} = 2 \times (4)^{\frac{7}{2}} = 2 \times (2^2)^{\frac{7}{2}} = 2 \times 2^7 = 2 \times 128 = 256\text{ atm}. Thus, the final pressure of the gas is 256 atm256\text{ atm}.
