n an automobile engine, a mixture of air and vaporized gasoline is compressed in the cylinders before being ignited. A typical engine has a compression ratio of 9.00 to 1; that is, the gas in the cylinders is compressed to 1/9 of its original volume and exhaust valves are closed during the compression, so the quantity of gas is constant. What is the final temperature of the compressed gas if its initial temperature is 27 degrees celcius and the initial and final pressures are 1.00 atm and 21.7 atm, respectively? Explain and show your complete solutions
