As we learnt in 

Adiabatic Process -

When a Thermodynamic System undergoes a change in such a way that no exchange of heat takes place.

- wherein

\Delta Q= 0

 

and

 

Work done in Adiabatic process -

W = \int PdV
 

- wherein

W = \frac{nR\left ( T_{i}-T_{f} \right )}{\gamma -1}

\gamma = adiabatic\, \, exponent

 

For adiabatic process

W = Change in internal energy

= n C_{v}\left ( T_{i}-T_{f} \right )

146\times 10^{3} = \left ( 1000 \right ) \times \frac{R}{\gamma - 1} \times 7

146 = \frac{8.3\times 7}{\gamma -1}

or \gamma -1 = \frac{58.1}{146}

\gamma = 1.4

\therefore gas is diatomic
