Question
The temperature of a hypothetical gas increases to $\sqrt 2 $ times when compressed adiabatically to half the volume. Its equation can be written as

Answer

(a) $T{V^{\gamma - 1}}$= constant
$\therefore  \frac{{{T_1}}}{{{T_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{V_2}}}{{{V_1}}}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}}$or ${\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{2}} $
 $\therefore \gamma - 1 = \frac{1}{2}$or $\gamma = \frac{3}{2}$

$P{V^{3/2}}$= constant

The volume $V$ of a given mass of monoatomic gas changes with temperature $T$ according to the relation $V = KT ^{2 / 3}$. The workdone when temperature changes by $90\, K$ will be $x\,R$. The value of $x$ is $[ R =$ universal gas constant $]$
$0.02\, moles$ of an ideal diatomic gas with initial temperature $20^{\circ} C$ is compressed from $1500 \,cm ^{3}$ to $500 \,cm ^{3}$. The thermodynamic process is such that $p V^{2}=\beta$, where $\beta$ is a constant. Then, the value of $\beta$ is close to (the gas constant, $R=8.31 \,J / K / mol$ ).
