Question

An ideal gas is expanding such that P T 2 = constant. The coefficient of volume expansion of the gas is, 1 T, 2 T, 3 T, 4 T

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

PT 2 = constant ∴ n RT V T 2 = constant or, T 3 V - 1 = constant Differentiating the equation, we get 3 T 2 V · d T - T 3 V 2 d V = 0 or, 3 d T = T V · d V ..........(i) From the equation, d V = V γ d T γ = Coefficient of volume expansion of gas = d V V · d T From Eq.(i) γ = d V V · d T = 3 T
