One mole of an ideal gas is allowed to expand reversibly and adiabatically from a temperature of 27∘C. If the work done during the process is 3kJ, then final temperature of the gas is: (Cv=20J/K)

Solution
The correct option is B150K Since the gas expands adiabatically (i.e., no change in enthalpy) so the internal energy is totally converted into work.
For the gas, Cv=20J/K. Thus, 20J of energy is required for 1∘ change in temperature of the gas.
internal energy change involved during the process i.e., work done =3kJ=3000J.
Change in temperature =300020K=150K
Initial temperature =300K
Since, the gas expands so the temperature decreases and thus final temperature is 300−150=150.
