The volume (V) of a monatomic
gas varies with its temperature
(T), as shown in the graph. The
ratio of work done by the gas,
to the heat absorbed by it, when
it undergoes a change from state
A to state B, is


- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
Gas is monatomic, so Cp =
Given process is isobaric.
dQ = nCpdT
or dQ = ndT
Also, dW = PdV = nRdT ( PV = nRT)
Required ratio = = =
