Thermodynamic Processes

A diatomic gas with rigid molecules does 10 J of work when expanded at constant pressure. What would be the heat energy absorbed by the gas, in this process?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Rigid diatomic: Cp=72RC_p = \frac{7}{2}R; at constant pressure QW=CpR=72\frac{Q}{W} = \frac{C_p}{R} = \frac{7}{2}.
  2. Q=72×10=35 JQ = \frac{7}{2} \times 10 = 35\text{ J}
  3. So the answer is (a) 35 J.
