Problem
An ideal gas having initial pressure P , volume V and temperature T is allowed to expand adiabatically until its volume becomes 5.66V while its temperature falls to 2T .
(i) How many degrees of freedom do the gas molecules have?
(ii) Obtain the work done by the gas during the expansion as a function of the initial pressure P and volume V .
