In this problem you are to consider an adiabatic expansion of ideal diatomic gas, which means that the gas expands with no addition or subtraction of heat. Assume that the gas is initially at pressure po, volume Vo, and temperature To. In addition, assume that the temperature of the gas is such that you can neglect vibrational degrees of freedom. Thus, the ratio of heat capacities is y=C₂/Cv = 7/5. Note that, unless explicitly stated, the variable y should not appear in your answers--if needed use the fact that y = 7/5 for an ideal diatomic gas. Part A Find an analytic expression for p (V), the pressure as a function of volume, during the adiabatic expansion. Express the pressure in terms of V and any or all of the given initial values po, To, and Vo.
