Correct answer: B
- Given data
- Initial pressure:
- Initial temperature:
- Initial volume:
- First process: isothermal expansion until volume doubles
- Second process: adiabatic expansion until volume doubles again
- Ratio of specific heats:
We need the final pressure.
- First expansion: Isothermal
For an isothermal process of an ideal gas,
After first expansion,
So,
Thus, after isothermal expansion:
- Second expansion: Adiabatic
For an adiabatic process,
Here the gas expands from:
- Initial state for adiabatic step:
- Final state:
The volume is redoubled, so
Using adiabatic relation:
Therefore,
Substitute values:
Now,
Hence,
- Final answer
So the correct option is B.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: B
Our derived answer: B
They agree.
