An ideal gas having pressure $P$, volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to a volume $3V$ and final pressure $P_I$. The same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $3V$, the final pressure being $P_A$. The ratio $P_A/P_I$ is $(C_P/C_V = \gamma)$.

  • A
    $3^\gamma$
  • B
    $3^{-\gamma}$
  • C
    $3^{1-\gamma}$
  • D
    $3^{\gamma-1}$

Two moles of helium gas $\left(\gamma = \frac{5}{3}\right)$ at $27^{\circ} C$ is expanded at constant pressure until its volume is doubled. Then it undergoes an adiabatic change until the temperature returns to its initial value. The work done during the adiabatic process is (universal gas constant $R = 8.3 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$) (in $J$)
