A work of 166.28 J is done to adiabatically compress one mole of a gas. If the increase in the temperature of the gas is \( 8^\circ C \), the gas is:
Show Hint
For adiabatic processes, use the relation \( W = n C_v \Delta T \) to identify the type of gas by comparing the work done and temperature change.

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Using the equation for work done during adiabatic compression \( W = n C_v \Delta T \), we calculate the type of gas based on the temperature change and the work done. Since the specific heat for a diatomic gas matches the given conditions, the gas is diatomic.
Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

- Two gases A and B are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radii \(r_A\) and \(r_B\) respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both the cylinders, their pressures remain constant and their pistons are displaced by 16 cm and 9 cm respectively. If the change in their internal energies is the same, then the ratio \(r_A / r_B\) is:
