Correct answer: B

  1. Given data
  • Initial pressure: P1=2×107 PaP_1 = 2 \times 10^7\,\text{Pa}P1​=2×107Pa
  • Initial temperature: 27∘C=300 K27^\circ\text{C} = 300\,\text{K}27∘C=300K
  • Initial volume: V1=VV_1 = VV1​=V
  • First process: isothermal expansion until volume doubles
  • Second process: adiabatic expansion until volume doubles again
  • Ratio of specific heats: γ=1.5=32\gamma = 1.5 = \frac{3}{2}γ=1.5=23​

We need the final pressure.


  1. First expansion: Isothermal

For an isothermal process of an ideal gas,

P1V1=P2V2P_1V_1 = P_2V_2P1​V1​=P2​V2​

After first expansion,

V2=2VV_2 = 2VV2​=2V

So,

P2=P1V1V2=(2×107)(V)2V=107 PaP_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} = \frac{(2\times 10^7)(V)}{2V} = 10^7\,\text{Pa}P2​=V2​P1​V1​​=2V(2×107)(V)​=107Pa

Thus, after isothermal expansion:

P2=1.0×107 Pa,V2=2VP_2 = 1.0\times 10^7\,\text{Pa}, \quad V_2 = 2VP2​=1.0×107Pa,V2​=2V


  1. Second expansion: Adiabatic

For an adiabatic process,

PVγ=constantPV^\gamma = \text{constant}PVγ=constant

Here the gas expands from:

  • Initial state for adiabatic step: (P2,V2)(P_2, V_2)(P2​,V2​)
  • Final state: (P3,V3)(P_3, V_3)(P3​,V3​)

The volume is redoubled, so

V3=2V2=4VV_3 = 2V_2 = 4VV3​=2V2​=4V

Using adiabatic relation:

P2V2γ=P3V3γP_2V_2^\gamma = P_3V_3^\gammaP2​V2γ​=P3​V3γ​

Therefore,

P3=P2(V2V3)γP_3 = P_2\left(\frac{V_2}{V_3}\right)^\gammaP3​=P2​(V3​V2​​)γ

Substitute values:

P3=107(2V4V)1.5P_3 = 10^7\left(\frac{2V}{4V}\right)^{1.5}P3​=107(4V2V​)1.5

P3=107(12)3/2P_3 = 10^7\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3/2}P3​=107(21​)3/2

Now,

(12)3/2=123/2=122≈12.828≈0.3536\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3/2} = \frac{1}{2^{3/2}} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \approx \frac{1}{2.828} \approx 0.3536(21​)3/2=23/21​=22​1​≈2.8281​≈0.3536

Hence,

P3=107×0.3536=3.536×106 PaP_3 = 10^7 \times 0.3536 = 3.536 \times 10^6\,\text{Pa}P3​=107×0.3536=3.536×106Pa


  1. Final answer

P3=3.536×106 Pa\boxed{P_3 = 3.536 \times 10^6\,\text{Pa}}P3​=3.536×106Pa​

So the correct option is B.


  1. Comparison with stored answer
