Two moles of an ideal monatomic gas (

\gamma = 5/3

) expand reversibly and adiabatically from an initial state of

3.0\,\text{atm}

and

0.015\,\text{m}^3

until the pressure falls to

1.0\,\text{atm}

. (i) Determine the final volume. (ii) Determine the ratio of the final temperature to the initial temperature.
