A monoatomic gas at pressure P and volume V is suddenly compressed to one eighth of its original volume. The final pressure at constant entropy will be
  1. P
  2. 8P
  3. 32P
  4. 64P

Solution

Change in entropy is given by dS=dQT. Since, the process is dS=0dQ=0. Therefore, constant entropy means the process is adiabatic.

PVγ=constant

P1V1γ=P2V2γ

For a monatomic gas γ=53

P1V153=P2V1853

P1V153=P2 V15332

P2=32P1
