Thermodynamic Processes

For a monoatomic gas, the work done at constant pressure is 'WW'. The heat supplied at constant volume for the same rise in temperature of the gas is

[γ=CpCv=53[\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} = \frac{5}{3} for monoatomic gas]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. At constant pressure W=nRΔTW = nR\Delta T.
  2. At constant volume Q=nCvΔT=n32RΔT=32WQ = nC_v\Delta T = n\frac{3}{2}R\Delta T = \frac{3}{2}W (monoatomic).
  3. So the answer is (d) 3W2\frac{3W}{2}.
