ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Part a
The given equation is,
(10 atm) = (1.0 atm)
This equation can be compared to that of an adiabatic process equation constant. Here, is the ratio of the specific heats at constant pressure and volume. A value of indicates that the gas concerned is diatomic.
The problem
A diatomic gas at pressure 1.0 atm is compressed adiabatically and the final pressure it reaches is 10 atm. What is the ratio of the initial to the final volume of the gas?
