Question
Calculate the fall in temperature when a gas initially at 72°C is expanded suddenly to eight times its original volume. Given y $=\frac53.(\therefore\text{V}_2=8\text{x}\text{ c.c.})$
✓

Answer

Let, V1 = x c.c.;
T1 = 273 + 72 = 345K;
$\gamma=\frac53;$
T2 = ?
Using the relation $\text{T}_1\text{V}^{\gamma-1}_1=\text{T}_2\text{V}^{\gamma-1}_2$
$\therefore\text{T}_2=\text{T}_1\Big(\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{V}_2}\Big)^{\gamma-1}$
$=345\times\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{8\text{x}}\Big)^\frac23$
$=345\times\Big(\frac18\Big)^\frac23$
Taking $\log$ both sides, we get
$\log\text{T}_2=\log\ 345-\frac23\log8$
$=2.5378-\frac23(0.9031)$
$=2.5378-0.6020$
$=1.9358$
$\text{T}_2=86.26\text{ K}$
$\therefore$ Fall in temperature = 345 - 86.26 = 258.74K.
