Physics · Thermodynamics
Consider two identical containers, A and B, containing the same ideal gas at identical initial pressure, volume, and temperature. The gas in container A is compressed to half of its original volume isothermally, while the gas in container B is compressed to half of its original volume adiabatically. If γ is the ratio of specific heats, what is the ratio of the final pressure of the gas in container B to that in container A?
