One mole of an ideal gas whose adiabatic exponent equals γ undergoes a process in which the gas pressure relates to the temperature as p = aTα, where a and α are constants.

What is the magnitude of work performed by the gas if its temperature is increased by Δ T?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

V = RT/p = (R/a)T1-α, so dV = (R/a)(1-α)T-αdT. dw = p dV = aTα·(R/a)(1-α)T-αdT = R(1-α) dT. w = R(1-α)Δ T. Matches (a).
