For a monatomic ideal gas, $\gamma =C_P/C_V=5/3$. If the expansion is reversible adiabatic, $T{V}^{\gamma -1}$ is constant, soAdiabatic isolation alone does not imply this temperature law. For example, free expansion into vacuum has $Q=W=0$, so an ideal gas remains at $300\mathrm{K}$. Thus $75\mathrm{K}$ is the usual intended answer with the additional isentropic assumption; the literal adjective “adiabatic” does not uniquely select it.^[ref]
