Q222JEE Main 2016 · 9 APR · SHIFT 1Easy

Thermodynamic Processes

The ratio of work done by an ideal monoatomic gas to the heat supplied to it in an isobaric process is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Isobaric: W=nRΔTW = nR\Delta T, Q=nCpΔTQ = nC_p\Delta T.
  2. Monoatomic: Cp=52RC_p = \frac{5}{2}R.
  3. WQ=R52R=25\frac{W}{Q} = \frac{R}{\frac{5}{2}R} = \frac{2}{5}
  4. So the answer is (d) 25\frac{2}{5}.
