19N.3.SL.TZ0.6a(ii)

An ideal gas consisting of 0.300 mol undergoes a process ABCD. AB is an adiabatic expansion from the initial volume V_A to the volume 1.5 V_A. BC is an isothermal compression. The pressures at C and D are the same as at A.

The following data are available.

Pressure at A = 250 kPa
Volume at C = 3.50 × 10^–3 m³
Volume at D = 2.00 × 10^–3 m³

(a(ii))

Calculate the ratio $\frac{V_{A}}{V_{C}}$ .
