  1. One mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of T K does 6R joules of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is 5/3, the final temperature of gas will be​​
    1. ​(T – 4) K
    2. (T + 2.4) K
    3. (T – 2.4) K
    4. (T + 4) K
Correct Option: A

T1 = T , W = 6R joules , γ =
5
3

W =
P1V1 - P2V2
=
nRT1 - nRT2
γ - 1γ - 1

=
nR(T1 - T2)
γ - 1

n = 1 , T1 = T ⇒
R(T - T2)
= 6R
(5 / 3) - 1

⇒ T2 = ( T–4)K
