# In Problems 74 through 76 you are given the equation used to solve a problem. For each of these, you are toa. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation.b. Finish the solution of the problem.76.

a. Find the ratio between the final and initial volumes in an adiabatic compression of a diatomic gas if the final pressure is ten times that of the initial one.

b. The solution of the problem is

See the step by step solution

Equation:

## Step 2: Explanation (Part a)

Find the ratio between the final and initial volumes in an adiabatic compression of a diatomic gas if the final pressure is ten times that of the initial one.

## Step 3: Final Answer (Part a)

Therefore, find the ratio between the final and initial volumes in an adiabatic compression of a diatomic gas if the final pressure is ten times that of the initial one.

Equation:

## Step 5: Explanation (Part b)

(b) Rearranging, we can give the following expression:

Canceling the units of pressure and putting both sides on the root, we get:

## Step 6: Final Answer (Part b)

The final solution of the problem is
