Question

Consider $1c{m}^3$ sample of air at absolute temperature $T_0$ at sea-level and another $1c{m}^3$ sample of air at a height where the pressure is the one-third atmosphere. The absolute temperature $T_0$ of the sample at the highest is :

• A. equal to $T_0/3$
• B. equal to $T_0$
• C. equal to $3T_0$
• D. cannot be determined in terms of $T_0$ from the above data

Answer 1

The correct option is D cannot be determined in terms of $T_0$ from the above data

The absolute temperature $T_0$ of the sample at the highest cannot be determined in terms of $T_0$ from the above data as amount of the gas is not known.
