NEET Solved Paper 2014 Question 17

Question: A monoatomic gas at a pressure p, having a volume V expands isothermally to a volume 2 V and then adiabatically to a volume 16 V. The final pressure of the gas is (take $ \gamma =\frac{5}{3} $ ) [AIPMT 2014]

Options:

A) 64p

B) 32p

C) $ \frac{p}{64} $

D) 16p

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • For isothermal expansion $ pV=p’\times 2V $ $ [\therefore V’=2V] $ $ p’=\frac{p}{2} $ For adiabatic expansion, $ p{V^{\gamma }} $ = constant $ p’{V^{’\gamma }}=p’‘V’{{’}^{\gamma }} $ $ \frac{p}{2}{{[2V]}^{5/3}}=p’’{{[16V]}^{5/3}} $ $ p’’=\frac{p}{2}{{[ \frac{2V}{16V} ]}^{5/3}}=\frac{p}{2}{{[ \frac{1}{8} ]}^{5/3}} $ $ =\frac{p}{2}[0.03125] $ $ =0.0156p $ $ =p/64 $
