Solution

The correct option is D 100R
For an adiabatic process,
ΔQ=ΔW+ΔU=0
ΔW=ΔU
But,
ΔU=nCV(T2T1)
ΔW=nCV(T1T2)
We know that, hydrogen gas is a diatomic gas, so the number of degrees of freedom (f)=5
Thus, specific heat capacity at constant volume (CV)=fR2=5R2
From the data given in the question,
ΔW=2×52R×(4727)=100R
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
