An ideal gas at pressure ' $p$ ' is adiabatically compressed so that its density becomes twice that of the initial. If $\gamma=\frac{c_p}{c_v}=\frac{7}{5}$, then final pressure of the gas is

  • A
    $\mathrm{p}$
  • B
    $2 \mathrm{p}$
  • C
    $\frac{7}{5} \mathrm{p}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $2.63 p$

Solution

Since density become twice, its volume will become half. $$ \therefore \frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}=2 $$ $\therefore$ For adiabatic process we have $$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1^\gamma=\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{~V}_2^\gamma \\ & \therefore \frac{\mathrm{P}_2}{\mathrm{P}_1}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}\right)^\gamma=(2)^{7 / 5}=(2)^{1.4}=2.63 \end{aligned} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
