What is the ratio of slopes of P-V graphs of adiabatic and isothermal process? 

Answer»

The slope of P-V graph is dP/dV

For an isothermal process, (PV = constant)

So dP/dV = P/V → (1)

For an adiabatic process ( PVY = constant) 

 dP/dV = YP/V → (2)

Divide 2) by 1) 

So, the ratio of adiabatic slope to isothermal slope is Y.
