The ratio of the specific heats 
in terms of degrees of freedom (n) is given by
A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced its half. Then,
compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to b done
compressing the gas through isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work.
which of the case (whether compression through isohermal or through adiabatic process) requires more work will depend upon the atomicity of the gas.
which of the case (whether compression through isohermal or through adiabatic process) requires more work will depend upon the atomicity of the gas.
