    An ideal gas initially at 0∘C0^{\circ}C temperature, is compressed suddenly to one fourth of its volume. If the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to that at constant volume is 3/23/2, the change in temperature due to the thermodynamics process is ______\_\_\_\_\_\_ K.

    A gas is kept in a container having walls which are thermally non-conducting. Initially the gas has a volume of 800 cm3800{\text{ }cm}^{3} and temperature 27∘C27^{\circ}C. The change in temperature when the gas is adiabatically compressed to 200 cm3200{\text{ }cm}^{3} is : (Take γ=1.5:γ\gamma= 1.5:\gamma is the ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume)
