When heat Q is supplied to a diatomic gas of rigid molecules, at constant volume its temperature increases by T. the heat required to produce the same change in temperature, at a constant pressure is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Use heat capacity relations
For an ideal gas,
- At constant volume:
- At constant pressure:
We are given that at constant volume, the supplied heat is , so
We need the heat required at constant pressure for the same temperature rise :
- Heat capacities for a diatomic rigid molecule gas
For a diatomic gas of rigid molecules, the degrees of freedom are:
- 3 translational
- 2 rotational
So total degrees of freedom:
Hence,
and
- Find the ratio
Since ,
- Match with options
The correct option is:
