Starting at temperature 300 K, one mole of an
ideal diatomic gas (γ = 1.4) is first compressed
adiabatically from volume V1 to V2 = V116. It is
then allowed to expand isobarically to volume 2V2. If all the processes are the quasi-static then
the final temperature of the gas (in oK) is (to the nearest integer) _____.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

T1V1γ–1 = T2V2 γ–1

300×V75−1=T2(V16)75−1

⇒ T2 = 300 × (16)0.4

Isobaric process

V = nRTP

V2 = kT2... (1)

2V 2 = KTf... (2)

Tf = 2T2 = 300 × 2 × (16)0.4 = 1818 K
