Thermodynamic Processes

An ideal diatomic gas is heated at constant pressure. What is the fraction of total energy applied, which increases the internal energy for the gas?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Isobaric: ΔUQ=CvCp\dfrac{\Delta U}{Q} = \dfrac{C_v}{C_p}.
  2. Diatomic: Cv=52RC_v = \dfrac{5}{2}R, Cp=72RC_p = \dfrac{7}{2}R.
  3. ΔUQ=57\dfrac{\Delta U}{Q} = \dfrac{5}{7}, so the answer is (b).
