The work of $146 \ kJ$ is performed in order to compress one kilo mole of gas adiabatically,and in this process,the temperature of the gas increases by $7 ^\circ C$. The gas is $(R = 8.3 \ J \ mol^{-1} K^{-1})$.

During an adiabatic process,the pressure of a gas is found to be proportional to the cube of its absolute temperature. The ratio of $\frac{C_p}{C_v}$ for the gas is:
