A sample of gas at temperature is adiabatically expanded to double its volume. The work done by the gas in the process is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Use the adiabatic relation
For an adiabatic process of an ideal gas,
Given:
- initial temperature
- final volume
So,
- Apply the first law for adiabatic expansion
For an adiabatic process,
Hence, so
For 1 mole of ideal gas, Thus,
- Find using
We know
Using we get
- Calculate the work done
Now,
Simplify:
- Match with the options
Thus, which corresponds to Option D.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: D
Our derived answer: D
So, the answer agrees with the stored answer.
