Question: An ideal gas for which (gamma=1.4) initially has a volume of (1.5 mathrm{~m}^{3}) and a pressure of (15 mathrm{MPa}). The gas is then slowly compressed

An ideal gas for which \(\gamma=1.4\) initially has a volume of \(1.5 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\) and a pressure of \(15 \mathrm{MPa}\). The gas is then slowly compressed isentropically to a volume of \(0.50 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\).

(a) What is the final pressure in the gas?

(b) By how much did the entropy of the gas change?
