One mole of an ideal gas expands adiabatically from w an initial state (𝑇A, 𝑉0) to final state (𝑇f , 5𝑉0). Another mole of the same gas expands isothermally from a different initial state (𝑇B,𝑉0) to the same final state (𝑇f , 5𝑉0). The ratio of the specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume of this ideal gas is 𝛾. What is the ratio 𝑇A/𝑇B? (A) 5 𝛾−1 (B) 5 1−𝛾 (C) 5 𝛾 (D) 5 1+�
To find the ratio
, we analyze the two processes described:
Adiabatic Process:
The gas expands adiabatically from to .
For an adiabatic process, the relation between temperature and volume is given by:
Solving for :
Isothermal Process:
The gas expands isothermally from to .
For an isothermal process, the temperature remains constant, so .
Ratio Calculation:
From the adiabatic process, we have .
From the isothermal process, we have .
Therefore, the ratio is:
Thus, the final answer is .
