AIPMT MAINS 2010 Physics Adiabatic Processes MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
A monoatomic gas at pressure P₁ and V₁ is compressed adiabatically to 1/8ᵗʰ its original volume. What is the final pressure of the gas?
A
64 P₁
B
P₁
C
16 P₁
D
32 P₁
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
For an adiabatic process, P₁V₁^γ = P₂V₂^γ. Given V₂ = V₁/8 and γ = 5/3 for a monoatomic gas, P₂ = P₁(8)^(5/3) = 32P₁.
