A litre of dry air at STP expands adiabatically to a volume of 3 L. If γ=1.40, the work done by air is314=4.6555 [take air to be an ideal gas],
HARD
JEE Main
IMPORTANT
Under an adiabatic process, the volume of an ideal gas gets doubled. Consequently, the mean collision time between the gas molecule changes from τ1 to τ2. If CpCV=γ for this gas, then a good estimate for τ2τ1 is given by,
