One mole of a diatomic gas, which is initially at a temperature T0, is adiabatically compressed such that its pressure becomes 10 times. Work done on the gas is –

A

RT0 (10)2/7

B

–RT0(10)2/7

C

rac52 rac{5}{2}RT0(102/7 – 1)

D

rac52 rac{5}{2}RT0(102/7 – 1)

Answer

rac{5}{2}RT0(102/7 – 1)

Explanation

Solution

When a gas is compressed suddenly, it is said to be an adiabatic process
