A heat insulating cylinder with a movable piston contains 5 moles of hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure if the gas is compressed to quarter of its original volume them the pressure of the gas is increased by ( 
= 1.4)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
As the cylinder is a heat insulating i.e. no heat is allowed to be exchanged. Hence the process is
adiabatic.
