\( 5.6 \mathrm{~L} \) of helium gas at STP is adiabatically compressed to \( 0.7 \mathrm{~L} \). Taking the initial temperature to be \( T_{1} \) the work done in the process is
PhysicsThermodynamicsJEE Main
Options:
  • A \( -\frac{9}{8} R T_{1} \)
  • B \( \frac{3}{2} R T_{1} \)
  • C \( \frac{15}{8} R T_{1} \)
  • D \( \frac{9}{2} R T_{1} \)

The correct answer is: \( -\frac{9}{8} R T_{1} \)

At STP, 22.4 L of any gas is equal to 1 mol

5.6 L=5.622.4=14 mol=n.

In adiabatic process, TVγ-1= constant

  T2V2γ-1=T1V1γ-1  or T2=T1V1V2γ-1

For monoatomic (Helium) gas, γ=CpCV=53

T2=T15.60.753-1=4T1

Further, in adiabatic process,

Q=0W+ΔU=0

or W=-ΔU=-nCVΔT

=-nRγ-1T2-T1

=-14R53-14T1-T1=-98RT1
