Question

If the volume of the given mass of a gas is increased four times, the temperature is raised from ${27}^{0}C$ and ${127}^{0}C$. The elasticity will become

• A. 4 times
• B. 1/4 times
• C. 3 times
• D. 1/3 times

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1/3 times

From ideal gass equation $\frac{P_1{V}_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2{V}_2}{T_2}$
$\frac{E_2}{E_1}=\frac{P_2}{P_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}\times \frac{T_2}{T_1}=(\frac{1}{4})\times (\frac{400}{300})=\frac{1}{3}$
$⟹E_2=\frac{E_1}{3}$
i.e. elasticity will become $\frac{1}{3}$ times.
