Thermodynamic Processes

An ideal gas initially at 0∘C0^\circ\text{C} temperature, is compressed suddenly to one fourth of its volume. If the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to that at constant volume is 3/23/2, the change in temperature due to the thermodynamic process is _________ K.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 273

  1. Sudden compression is adiabatic: TVγ−1=TV^{\gamma-1} = const.
  2. T2=273×43/2−1=273×41/2=546T_2 = 273 \times 4^{3/2 - 1} = 273 \times 4^{1/2} = 546 K
  3. ΔT=546−273=273\Delta T = 546 - 273 = 273 K
