A specific type of ideal gas has a specific heat capacity at constant pressure (cp=cv+R) that is a function of temperature T, such that cp=0.48T+885, where cp has units of J/kg/K and T has units of K. The gas, which is initially at T1 = 314 K and P1 = 1x105 Pa, undergoes a reversible adiabatic process such that its final temperature is T2 = 772 K. Calculate the pressure of the gas (in Pa) in this final state. Assume the following ideal gas constant: R = 287 J/kg/K. Recall that ds = cpdT/T – RdP/P
