Answer

$ \frac{p_3}{p_1}= 0.495$

Work Step by Step

Process $2 \rightarrow 3$ is also adiabatic, so $p_2V_2^\gamma = p_3V_3^\gamma$ Where $V_3 = 4.00 V_1$ $V_2 = V_1$ $p_2 = 3.00p_1$ $\gamma = 1.30$ Substitute all the values and solve for $\frac{p_3}{p_1}$ $p_3 = [\frac{V_2}{V_3}]^{\gamma}p_2$ $p_3 = [\frac{V_1}{4.00 V_1}]^{1.30}3.00p_1$ $ \frac{p_3}{p_1}= [\frac{1}{4.00}]^{1.30}3.00$ $ \frac{p_3}{p_1}= 0.495$
