If the volume of the given mass of a gas is increased four times, the temperature is raised from 27°C to 127°C. The elasticity will become
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
From the ideal gas equation $\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}$ $\frac{E_2}{E_1} = \frac{P_2}{P_1} = \frac{V_1}{V_2} \times \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right) \times \left(\frac{400}{300}\right) = \frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow E_2 = \frac{E_1}{3}$ i.e. elasticity will become $\frac{1}{3}$ times.
