An ideal gas is expanded such that `PT^(2)=a` constant. The coefficient of volume expansion of the gas isA. `(1)/(T)`B. `(2)/(T)`C. `(3)/(T)`D. `(4)/(T)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
From ideal gas eduation
`PV = n RT` or `P=(n RT)/(V)`
as gas expands such that
`PT^(2)=a` constant `=C` (say)
so `((n RT)/(V))T^(2) =C` or `T^(3) prop V`
or `T^(3) =k V` …..(i)
Diffrentiating it w.r.t. T, we have
`3T^(2) =k(dV)/(dT)`
Dividing it by (i), we have
`(3)/(T) =(1)/(V) (dV)/(dT)`
Coefficient of volume expansion,
`gamma=(1)/(V) (dV)/(dT) =(3)/(T)`
