$A$ cycle tyre bursts suddenly. What is the type of this process?

$A$ gas is kept in a container having walls which are thermally non-conducting. Initially,the gas has a volume of $800 \ cm^3$ and a temperature of $27^{\circ} C$. The change in temperature when the gas is adiabatically compressed to $200 \ cm^3$ is ......... $K$. (Take $\gamma=1.5$,where $\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume.)

$A$ diatomic ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to $\frac{1}{32}$ of its initial volume. If the initial temperature of the gas is $T_1$ (in Kelvin) and the final temperature is $a T_1$,the value of $a$ is
