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
rac52RT0(102/7 – 1)
D
–rac52RT0(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
