The work of 146KJ is performed in order to compress one kilo mole of gas adiabatically and in this process the temperature of the gas increases by 7 degree C Identify the atomicity of the gas Given R=8.3J/mol/K.  Please explain why 7 Degree celcius is taken equal to 7Kelvin while solving

Answer:
 
Workdone W in adiabatic process is given by, begin mathsize 12px style W space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator gamma minus 1 end fraction open parentheses p subscript f V subscript f space minus space p subscript i V subscript i close parentheses space................... left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis end style
where γ is ratio of specific heats, pi and pf are initial and final presuure, Vi and Vf are initial and final volume.
 
if we substitute ideal gas equation of state, pV = nRT, then eqn.(1) is written as, begin mathsize 12px style W space equals space fraction numerator n cross times R over denominator gamma minus 1 end fraction open parentheses T subscript f space minus space T subscript i close parentheses space................... left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis end style
where n is number of moles, R is molar gas constant, Ti and Tf are initial and final temperatures.
 
let us substitute given data in eqn.(2) to get γ , 146×1000 = (1000×8.3×7)/(γ-1) ................(3)
 
we get γ≈1.4 from eqn.(3). Hence the gas is diatomic gas. atomicity is 2.
 
In thermodynamics, temperature is always expressed in kelvin scale ( for formulas and calculations).
 
Kelvin scale is given by,   TK = TC + 273 , where TK is temperature in Kelvin and other one in celsius.
since they are linearly related (only linear displacement), difference of temperature is always same.
