Chapter 19, Problem 58P

GO Opening champagne. In a bottle of champagne, the pocket of gas (primarily carbon dioxide) between the liquid and the cork is at pressure of p_i = 5.00 atm. When the cork is pulled from the bottle, the gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion until its pressure matches the ambient air pressure of 1.00 atm. Assume that the ratio of the molar specific heats is $\gamma \text{ = }\frac{4}{3}$. If the gas has initial temperature T_i = 5.00°C, what is its temperature at the end of the adiabatic expansion?
