A Sample of Helium Gas with an Initial Temperature Of T_{i}

Question 96

Multiple Choice

A sample of helium gas with an initial temperature of TiT_{i} in an insulated cylinder with initial volume ViV_{i} is suddenly and violently compressed to one-half its volume. The absolute temperature of the gas after the compression is observed to have doubled. (Note: In a quasistatic adiabatic compression of a monatomic gas, TV2/3=\mathrm{TV}^{2 / 3}= constant.) A suitable replacement process for this process would be


A) a slow isothermal compression from ViV_{i} to 12Vi\frac{1}{2} V_{i} .
B) a slow adiabatic compression from ViV_{i} to 12Vi\frac{1}{2} V_{i} .
C) Heating the gas to double its temperature followed by a slow adiabatic compression from ViV_{i} to 12Vi\frac{1}{2} V_{i} .
D) a slow adiabatic compression from ViV_{i} to 12Vi\frac{1}{2} V_{i} followed by heating to bring the temperature to 2Ti2 T_{i} .
E) a slow adiabatic compression from ViV_{i} to 12Vi\frac{1}{2} V_{i} followed by cooling to bring the temperature to 2Ti2 T_{i} .
F) None of the above.
