During an adiabatic reversible expansion of an ideal diatomic gas, initially the pressure was 2 atm and volume was 5 L, after the expansion the volume occupied by gas was 15 L. What is the pressure in the container after expansion?

Option: 1

2\times\left ( \frac{1}{3}\right )^{\frac{7}{5}}\mathrm{atm}


Option: 2

2\times\left ( \frac{1}{3}\right )^{\frac{5}{3}}\mathrm{atm}


Option: 3

(\frac{2}{3})\: \mathrm{atm}


Option: 4

\left ( \frac{2}{3} \right )^{\frac{5}{3}}\mathrm{atm}

During an adiabatic reversible process, the PV relationship is given by:

PV^{\gamma }= constant

For a diatomic gas value of =7/5

P_{1}V_{1}^{\gamma }=P_{2}V_{2}^{\gamma }

2\times 5^{\left ( \frac{7}{5} \right )}=P_{2}\times 15^{\left ( \frac{7}{5} \right )}

 P_{2}=2\times \left ( \frac{1}{3} \right )^{\left ( \frac{7}{5} \right )}\mathrm{atm}
Hence, option number (1) is correct
