Two samples of gas initially at the same temperature and pressure are compressed from volume V to V/2 .One sample is compressed isothermally and the other adiabatically .in which case the pressure will be higher ?


Plzzz explain experts

Suppose,Final pressure during adiabatic compression=PaFinal pressure during isothermal compression=PiFor isothermal compression,PV=Pi(V2)Or Pi=2P----(i)For adiabatic compression,PVγ=Pa(V2)γOr Pa=2γP---(ii)Dividing (ii) by (i),PaPi=2γP2P=2γ2Since γ>1, so 2γ2>1Therefore, PaPi>1Or Pa> PiThus, final pressure during adiabatic compression is greater than the pressure during isothermal compression.
